It's Thursday 1 pm and I'm feeling good (despite the fact that they've drawn enough blood to create another me...) They'll take me in for surgery tomorrow at 6 am, and then to recovery for a few hours, followed by a couple of days in cardiac intensive care. By next Monday--if all goes according to plan--I'll be back here
in intermediate care.

Thank you all so much for your love, your thoughts and your prayers!
