@cheftom From your list, you underwent very thorough testing. You have learned a new vocabulary and all the acronyms related to these new words. Do ask your doctors how many people had this procedure this year, you value experience and skill, as you should. This is your precious heart! It's rare that we learn occupations of Connect discussion participants. This is off our discussion topic, but as a chef, what are your specialties? How do you address the need for specialized diets such as low sodium and low carbs?
