You Go Girl

My aunt had heart surgery this week for several occluded arteries and a leaky valve. The last report was that she was recovering well. I'm very happy to hear that, but not very surprised. She's an independent woman.

Her daughter told me that when the doctors were explaining the do's and don'ts of her post-operative care, my aunt met most of the don'ts with "Why not?" I also heard she's already planning what she's going to plant in this year's garden.

My aunt sees no sense in letting a "little thing" like a heart attack slow her down. She still has a life to live and she's going to live it her way.

So this is for you, Aunt. You go girl!
