Great to hear your wife is having only a minor setback with the palpitations.

And yes… I completely agree. Heart surgeons have a “very cool” way about them.

Also, thanks for the kind words about the blog and book. It’s a privilege and honor to support you and your wife during this time – even though you are thousands of miles away.

Give my best to your wife!

Keep on tickin!

Thanks so much for the blog. Along with your excellent book, it’s been a great help to my wife, who had her aortic valve replaced here in Paris, France nearly three weeks ago. She’s doing fine, and is now in a maison de repos for cardio-rehab. The only setback has been some persistant episodes of palpitations the last three days, which the doctors are controlling with medication.

I was interested, however, that you describe Mayor Koch’s surgery as “challenging”. My wife’s French surgeon – bless him – when we asked him about the “challenging” nature of his work, replied with great sang-froid that it was never challenging, simply a case of taking time and care and making sure all the protocols were observed.

These guys are very cool.
