Happy Wood Anniversary...

[MichaelJH]

to my quadruple bypass. Today was the 5th anniversary of my quadruple bypass. There were a couple of postponements. This meant on the Monday I was able to attend the funeral of a friend's mother I had klnown for approximately 50 years. I and a few others had the occasional though of "Will Michael be next" but I also had a lot of faith in my surgeon who had worked in Germany, , Austria, Switzerland, the US and of course the UK. In the US he spent a period at Harvard. To date he has done over 3,500 procedures including transplants!

Th celebrate I had lunch with the friend, whose mother's funeral I attended two days before my surgery, and his wife. In fact it is only the third meal out I have had since the lock down. On the first I caught the unmentionable...

Next month is a less happy anniversary - the crystal anniversary of losing my leg...

It's Whipsnade Tree Cathedral planted in memory of thoseost in WW I. Just down the road from the zoo. A pleasant place to commune with nature as besides different species of trees there is a mix of wiife if you tread quietly...

It's gorgeous, Michael. Nothing quite like a walk outside communing with nature, I always feel the benefit of it.

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Cee-Cee1]

The area mabes a good day out as nearby uou have a choir or Whipsnade Zoo and Dunstable Downs. In fact with the current long daylight you could do all three in a day!

Many congratulations Michael on your 5th Anniversary. I will be following on 18th of this month with my 5th Anniversary. I think that I will take your lead and get out with a friend and mark the occasion. 😀

Happy Anniversary, Michael! It was the 5th anniversary of my HA last week, and I had a (coincidental) phone appointment with my cardiologist. He was pleased to tell me that I’m doing really well, with a BNP of 72, and an EF of 40-45% ❤️
