I had my first surgical check-up today for the heart valve...the Surgeon said I am doing well. I can drive again thank God. We ended up celebrating at a Mexican restaurant where I had a peach margarita...it was good. For dinner we had fajitas served in a pineapple with all the trimming...we took most of it home in a box...such a big portion...they sadly ran out of Flan...now I would have eaten all of that!

I'm happy you had such a fun celebration.

back fusion. He can't work as a quality engineer anymore although too young for retirement so we applied for disability. It took a year but he recently was approved. I consider us very lucky to have gotten it; many do not. It has been a tough year and we are relatively young for all this. I had a bad aortic valve...from birth, it seems. It was hereditary.

My parents carried the gene...and the valve begins to wear out in the late 50's. I was in perfect health a year ago...or so I thought. I am told that Covid in July caused damage to an already weakened heart but the valve was not discovered then. It should have been as the Echo clearly showed an abnormality in the Aortic valve. I fired my cardiologist in fact. I was in critical condition when admitted to the hospital and spent 46 days in the hospital...mostly in the ICU. But I am recovering now after my surgery, and my heart is healing. Thank you for your kind wishes.

every day...so I did in bed. I was not allowed out of bed due most of the time due to low blood pressure...but I walked out of the hospital and gave up the walker within days of coming home...I am very fortunate. I had wonderful doctors.

I had a large, late lunch, so dinner was a protein shake and a scoop of cherry Garcia.
