Well, 2nd open heart surgery is in the books in only 9 months. I'm exhausted but I'm also here so that's a win 💪. Now it's time for the recovery, only on day 4 so a LONG road ahead but I got this! 💙

You're a heart surgery veteran, so you know what to expect, Collier. Less emotional exhaustion I expect, which is half the battle. Hope that this second surgery did just what was needed and you are now good for a LONG time. Godspeed, Collier.
