Speaking of a 'Winter of Death,' today is the second anniversary of my surgery. In fact, at this very moment two years ago, I was unconscious with my chest splayed open like a gutted fish, my body temperature was down somewhere in the 80s, my heart was stopped and a team was working on my heart. Deja vu! That was fun.

More importantly, it is two years (Two years and 45 days, I guess, to be accurate.) since I was told that without surgery, I would be dead in two years. I don't know how much longer I may live, but from here on out, every day is GRAVY.

The surgery was not without side effects and some of them still bother me today. I've got to say though, they're a whole lot better than the alternative! Thank you, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and Dr. McCullough.
