AWESOME. So glad to hear you're on the other side of it. The pillow hug trick is my go-to move after 10 years post-surgery. So glad to hear you're doing so great!

The heart pillow Mayo sent home with me was/is the #1 most important thing they gave me followed by a distant second for the "Jack" Reacher tool! I didn't even bother with a walker.

Thank you moon boy.
I've been following your posts the last few months.
When I got this diagnosis 6 month ago, I thought, I never will undergo OPEN HEART SURGERY. Keeping it like Einstein in 1952: I wanna go when I wanna go........
But I educated myself, reading your experience. It's not always a sudden death.
I'm glad, I did.
I'm back to a normal life, without fear, and no restrictions, going on an airplane.
Thank you moon boy, helping me, making this lifesaving decision.
