9. It's, of course, frightening. Take comfort knowing that it's a standard

operation now with incredible scientific advances over the decades that should alleviate some of your current fear.

In the 60s, my nephew was one of the first ten children to undergo open heart surgery in the US. I was just a schoolgirl then and remember the fear clearly.

Looking forward to welcoming you back when you’re up to posting again. 🌻🫶🏽🌻
