Hello Lloyd,
I've lurked in this group but never posted. Wiser people than I post
here, so I am here to absorb.
On your recent topic, I do have some experience.
In 2003, I had an infection ruin my Aortic valve. In 2004 it was
replaced with a clicking technological pyrolytic carbon wonder. (rated
at 200+ years no less)
Anyway, I am WAY better for it. My surgery was in New Westmnister, BC
and I was never really concerned about it. Funny. Anyway, I have a
friend whos father had Mitral valve repair in Toronto and he is doing
very well. He's 83 I think. You're becoming a caregiver is so
im****tant and valuable. My wife flipped into the role in a second and
without her it would have been very difficult.
I wish you both all the best and I know that with the current health
care system, Natalie will get will be the best available. Our health
care may seem problematic at times but it does appear to be there
when we need it.
All the best,
Len Bryan
