Going through my photos on my phone I thought about the one on the left. That is the last picture taken of me "pre-scar". My wife loves my new scar. She has been a rock and I could not have done this without her!
Lilly Black Maria looks lovely! :) what our spouses have to endure.....I can't imagine.

B.J. Dewey I now have a bovine valve. My world, my life is back. I had no complications at all and zero pain. One month out I now am having a pretty serious drainage problem, mid incision. It is completely clear BUT the cavity is quite large. No tissue growth which is needed for healing due to the liquid. My Doc will decide on Monday what they want to do. Right now I have a vacuum resting on top of the incision.
