As it happened, I ran into my favorite 7-year-old while walking home. She ran up to me, gave me a great big hug, and told me how happy she was to see me -- definitely the best part of the day. Then she told me that she'd heard that I was having heart surgery, so I guess the rumor-mill is up and running.

TLR, don't be afraid to get a 2nd opinion, my 1st cardiologist insisted that I needed open heart surgery to replace the mitral valve but it turned out that there was nothing wrong with the valve, it was the ventricle that was the problem. So rather than surgery, which is always risky, my ventricle is being treated with medication, and I have been improving, which is good considering that I turned 70 in Jan.
