From One Dying Man To Another
Hiya Dad
Hope you got home okay yesterday, thanks so much for getting Annie the star present, I shall ensure that she wears that every time I’m with her.
Mum has informed me about your valve situation, as she told you she would. I remember studying the heart in A-Level Biology and being particularly interested due to my own experiences. That was nearly 20 years ago, and even then they were able to do a great deal of procedures through the artery in the leg! A valve change was pretty standard procedure, so imagine what it is now! Indeed, a couple of months a go there was a lad on the news with a mechanical heart.
As long as you look after yourself a new valve can offer many more decades of being Papa, and to catch it now before it does some real damage is incredibly fortunate.
When I was in surgery at the Freeman my op lasted many hours and I was awake throughout. I was astonished at how such brainy people could also be so practical, they are like super mechanics these heart specialists, they are so brilliant at what they do it’s almost a privilege.
It still is the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to me, but it is also life changing, when you walk out of that hospital everything will be more spectacular and life will never have seemed so clear. If you want to retire at that point don’t worry about your diesel costs, I will buy your diesel, it is the very least I can do for you.
Love Adx
