Well, there is some good news. The cardio doc signed my guide papers for me, but as of around Jan, I will not do any guiding for about 3-4 months after my open heart surgery. Apparently I have a lot of things in my favor. I'm young (27) in great shape, (5'9", 175lbs, blonde hair and blue eyes for the ladies that are opting for the chip n dale toon.) My heart has begun to swell from working so hard, but we caught it early. I have 2 surgerical options. One is a mechanical valve, the other the take my pulmonary, move it over and replace it with either a pig or cow valve. I just know I'm gonna get blasted for that LOL. But I think the mechanical is the best route. I have an appt with the surgeon soon. I guess my heart IS too big. I have been accused of being too giving but I never thought it would come to this. LOL The doc says I should rebound very quickly, but NO fishing for at least 3 months until the breast bone heals and all the nerves and muscle, (and ladies, there is a lot of it, Mac you think it's working? sensual or sympathy, I'll take what I can get, LOL) Where was I. Oh yeah I am going for Jan, so I won't miss any fishing or hunting. I just wouldn't be the same person if I lost a season. I know it sounds shallow, but fishing is a part of who I am. Almost had in the wedding vows. Well that's where it stands. Sorry so long
