Just one fly in the chest spreader story Jim.  It won't be used, this new 
valve will go in thru the artery in the groin, and I've been told its 
outpatient, might keep me overnight after, but I can drive myself home 
the next day.  Cath lab stuff IOW. The witch doctors are learning new, 
better tricks all the time.

And I still have 3 copies of a blanket chest all cut out to finish, so 
each of my boys has something when I finally do miss roll call. They're 
saying I might make it till the pacemaker battery fails, another 9 or 10 
years.

But always have a project to finish, cause finishing the last project is 
a bad omen.  ;-)
