Before Greg went into surgery, he prepared a mailing list for his wife to provide updates. Got something a short while ago in which she told us that he’s recovering well. She didn’t want to send mail too early to be overly optimistic, so the fact that she sent it now at all is cause for celebration.

The surgery went well; the doctor in LA said he had a 50/50 chance of surviving it, but the guy in Cleveland who operated on him gave him much better chances, and appears to have been correct. In fact the OH doctor said that he would not have expected someone to have such advanced valve disease while under constant care of a cardiologist. Greg has already made plans to hit his regular cardiologist in the head with a shovel, which is also cause for celebration.
