So they didn't just stick one of these in there?

Wow, you had your heart worked on when you were like, 5?

Congratulations on the 20years, here's to 20+ more

I was 20, but I'll take the compliment.

I wasn't old enough to walk into a club or gamble in Vegas, but I was old enough to have my ribcage ripped open. That was some scary sh¡t, I tell ya!

It was kind of funny though being in the cardiac surgery ward after the procedure. More than one nurse walked by with a puzzled look on her/his face wondering what this kid was doing on a floor filled with old people.

Did any of those nurses stop to pick you and the old people up off the floor?

Congrats!

I'm still tickled by my own discovery of your bionic self - standing in line at Disneyland, me hearing this mysterious tick and asking no one in particular, "what's that ticking?" to have you rather sheepishly reply, "it's me."

Suddenly I'm seeing the headline "Airline Passengers (or Disneyland Security Guards) Tear Heart Patient Apart In Search For 'Bomb.'"

SM, do you carry a doctor's note to guard against such eventualities?

I wear a Medic Alert bracelet and have a card in my wallet.

But since my scars have long since healed, this "bomb" would have had to have been implanted in me a pretty long time ago. And fortunately, the Joker doesn't exist in real life.

All I can think of is Untamed Heart. Go to a hockey game and catch a puck!

but please don't die afterwards

No, that's maintenance's job, duh!

While this is a thread about SM's surgery, three years ago today I had my second surgery for achalasia at the Mayo Hospital and am doing pretty damn well thanks to one incredibly skilled surgeon.
