TFlan, My 85 year old mother had her aortic valve replaced, mitral valve repaired and triple by-pass first week in May in Florida; she flew to Massachusetts in June and is doing fine. She will be playing tennis again when she returns to FL this fall. Men are supposed t handle the surgery better than women. Best wishes, you'll do great! Not sure you'll get 20 yards though. :-)

About a month ago I passed out on the course. Severe dehydration, it was thought. Temps were really hot here in the CA Central Valley - the Tuesday before the "event" temp was 108 deg. I felt fine apres golf but on Wednesday I drank only a single bottle of H20, so the following day the reservoir was pretty much empty. Clunk! Out on the 4th green. 3 docs agreed I should see a cardiologist "just to be sure." So 2 weeks ago I endured a visit with a cardio guy, got a ultrasound test, EKG, etc., and was told an angiogram was necessary. Last Wednesday the angiogram showed a defective aortic valve. Oops Surprised smile <http://gfx1.hotmail.com/mail/w4/m3/ltr/emo/surprised_smile.gif> . So at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning I head to the heart center for surgery to replace the valve Crying face <http://gfx1.hotmail.com/mail/w4/m3/ltr/emo/crying_face.gif> . There, that should brighten everyone's day.
