At the time of this writing (2005) I'm 44-years old, married, with three young kids. Had open-heart surgery last year to fix aortic aneurysm and leaky aortic valve. These potentially fatal problems were miraculously brought to light and repaired. (Until a few weeks before surgery, I had no symptoms, no idea any problem existed). Now I'm as good -- or better -- than new. My heart is in the hands of the Good Shepherd.
