Hi, folks, a little personal news. In mid-November, I'm getting my aortic valve replaced via open-heart surgery. As scary as that sounds, my prognosis is excellent. This is fairly personal health news, and I'm posting publicly for two reasons.
First, I am so grateful for the friendships and collegial connections formed here. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, I wanted to say thank you. Second, of course, is the sad issue of money and American healthcare and disability support.
