My life changed February 23rd, 2004. That's the day Kevin 1.0 expired. The following day, I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure, the beginning of Kevin 2.0. On March 5th, I had open heart surgery, a quintuple bypass. On March 18th I had an implantable cardio-defibrulator installed. That began Kevin 3.0. Those are the facts. Now I have a new life to live. Changes to make. New chances. This blog chronicles the details and the process, at times informative, fascinating, funny and dull.
Take victories as they come. A win is a win.
I was not compelled to come back tot he computer to trumpet my news from the Doc.
But things are ok. No worse than last time. I've gained 6 pounds. He did emphasize that I must work to protect what I have, as I have no lee-way. All the improvement I had after surgery and treatment, was unexpected, and has maintained itself. That is great.
