After Heart Valve Replacement Surgery, Patient Opens 30-Year Dream

By Adam Pick on June 18, 2008

If there is one thing I see in heart surgery patients, it is their renewed vigor for life.

Personally, I consider the time after heart valve replacement surgery (in 2005) as my own "Second Chance". As I have shared with you in prior blogs, I am much more appreciative of all the wonderful things that this amazing life has to offer. I get set off by the smallest things (the wonderful smell of a rose) or and the largest commitments (my marriage to Robyn).

That said, any time I see something which resonates with this mindset, I share it with you.

Sooooooo.... Here is in a fascinating story about a heart surgery patient that is chasing his dream. Mike McGill, left his insurance job of 17 years to open his very own sportsbar called "The Plate".

I thought you might enjoy this story published in The Times earlier today. (Unfortunately, the story is no longer available on line.)

Keep on tickin!
