Happy 2016 to all my heart heroes! My 9 year old artist thinks pig valves can let you fly! We celebrate the pig all over our house. Our special time in history lets us all keep "flying"!
Yay hopefully I will be able to fly soon too :D if that's true... 🐷🐽
Great Pic! I too have pig valve let's fly together:-)
Wow! It looks like someone has inherited the family artistic gene, like your mom and me. I actually started working on a valve related cartoon, although it doesn't involve pigs. I'll post it when it's done. My new pig valve is working well, but I haven't yet tested my ability... Read more.

Today I celebrate my 4th birthday of my second chance at life (AVR and aneurysm 12 /5/11). So grateful to all who have guided me on this journey. Ran an 8 miler in sunny Cleveland and heart couldn't be better. May you all have such happy anniversaries!
You look great Michael! Felicidades. Keep on running and enjoying life.
Happy New Birthday. Thank you for posting your long term success! Wow, I hope I will be able to post something like that in a few years. It is a second chance isn't it. Congratulations and continued good luck Michael!
Happy anniversary. I at neary six months too am celebrating my Second Chance.
I need to get a pillow like that before next week. Maybe Santa will drop one off at Allegheny General.
