I'm a bit late but very much thanks to all of you! I'm still on the right side of the sod too! I had my heart surgery, 5 1/2 hrs worth, and all went very well! My surgeon tried to repair my valve, but ended up having to replace it with a pig valve. 9 days in the hospital, up and walking the day after surgery! I have a long recovery ahead of me, but I'll get er done! Thanks again to all you JD folks!
