    My Heart for Yours - One Year Later

    DateWednesday, October 28, 2009 | | Comments Off

    My husband had heart surgery one year ago today.

    He has had an amazing recovery with his capstone achievement last month - completing his first in-line skating marathon, the Northshore Inline Skate Marathon from Two Harbors to Duluth. It follows the Grandma's Marathon route. He finished it in 1:48 with an average speed of 15 MPH. His goal was to beat 2 hours - goal met!

    Below is what I posted last year: 

    My husband had open heart surgery this week. He had a valve and part of his aorta replaced. A congenital defect discovered in an otherwise healthy man. A big deal, a very big deal.

    All turned out well and he is coming home today - 4 days post-op. Amazing how quickly the body can recover from such trauma. Unbelievable what a great surgeon can do. Gratifying what support a solid health care organization to provide to the family.

     

     Amazing then. Still amazing now.

    Thanks for sharing that Lisa. Human beings are amazing animals. Even more amazing when someone you love goes through something potentially life-threatening. And congrats to your hubby on the marathon.
