Thank you Suz1950! I enjoyed reading your excerpt from the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery! Very very informative, as I heavily consider stats on outcomes in weighing my medical decisions. Quality of LIFE is the biggest element! My recent cardiac visit revealed that my ascending aneurysm is holding steady at 4.2 and my stats have actually improved. So it will be a wait and monitor scenario. Pretty cool! So I plan to approach living today in mindfulness, and appreciation! My other issues are being dissected out and addressed. That to is really nice! As a result of this reassurance, I feel more in control of myself/my body/ my mind. My happiness levels have just been increased ten-fold! I hope the readers of this blog, with the excellent info it provides, can also achieve a higher level of "Happiness".
