Today I saw my cardiologist for the sign-off on my heart surgery (see I’m back!, Getting sick is only for the rich or the well-insured, and Modern Medicine and Let Them Eat Cake Politicians).
I told her that I didn’t know whether to be mad or glad. Mad because of all I went through for the open heart surgery and all the side effects that went with it. Glad because of what the surgery had repaired.
Between the latest EKG results and what she heard with her stethoscope she was very pleased. Her delight made me very optimistic for continued improvement.
P.S. I know that she may well read this, but I still want her to know that her optimism was very contagious.
