New and Improved, doing just fine

I have had a few people ask me how I was doing as I haven't blogged in a while. The short answer is that I'm doing fine, very fine. With the exception of a long ugly scar down the middle of my chest it almost seems like the surgery never happened.

From a health standpoint I feel like I've fully recovered from the surgery. As a matter of fact, I feel much better than I did just before the surgery. Its amazing how much energy one has when the heart is working at 100%. I had a stress test at the cardiologist last week and was given a clean bill of health. So I have that going for me.

I have to apologize to anyone reading this because I have been horribly remiss in keeping up to date on my recovery. I do plan to go back and fill in all the details from the morning of the surgery, through the hospital and my recover. I do this for anyone who wants more details, but also so that I can get the story down for myself and posterity.

As a final sad note to end this post, a couple weeks ago my dear cat Jack died. If you've been following this blog you will remember that Jack was very upset the day of my surgery, evidence to the close connection between us. I don't know why Jack died, he just looked like he was asleep when I found him. I just thank him for being with me when I needed him the most, and have vowed to build the mother of all shrines to dead cats over his grave.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
