I'm home...

My torso looks like it's been spattered by a machine gun and sawed open by Jason but I am home.  I feel like I have had my spine hung up on a jack hammer and then drug around behind a Ford pickup but I am home. All in all I am pretty happy; I am alive and got to see a picture of my new valve and if one were window shopping for a valve I think I picked a pretty good one.  I have very little energy but after all I did just go through open heart surgery; we have so much to be thankful for...the sky tonight for instance, the fact that we live in America, we have friends and family, the fact that we don't have to be in pain 99% of the time...We have so much to be thankful for!  Just wanted to let you into my thought process for this past week and I will write again when I have more energy.  God is so faithful and it is by His grace that we receive all the beautiful things we receive.
