Another happy Dr. Gillinov patient. I was contemplating flying out there but decided for Dr. Castro for my second surgery (just a half our drive for me, but that wasn't my main decision). He is excellent! Your scar is almost gone. May I ask why you decided on a porcine... Read more.

Happy anniversary Louise!ðŸŽŠðŸŽ‰ðŸŽ‚

I believe bovine valves are more frequently used for Aortic replacement, which I may have to do later and I'd have a bovine one... Read more.

Congratulations on your 1 year anniversaryðŸŽ‰

I am curious why for your mitral valve it was between mechanical and porcine. I was told I could also have a bovine valve, which supposedly tends to last longer compared to a porcine valve. Regarding the scar, my lower 1/2 shows significantly more than my upper 1/2 (which is... Read more.

Now, here's a guitar with heart! My brother made this to benefit ThScience Mill, a STEM based museum in Johnson City, TX. The fundraiser event takes place Oct. 22nd. He has made guitars for various non-profits but how cool is this!

It's a fully functional guitar and the model of the heart comes apart to reveal the internal anatomy, red and blue (honoring arteries and veins) decorate the stethoscope chest pieces which serve as knobs for volume and tone. A functioning oximeter can take the players pulse, connect with an attached... Read more.

Ed Eller

Cheryl Mann

Richard Munson

Richard Munson

Between the heart and the guitar, the beat goes on.

Ana Brusso

Really cool. Hope you raise a lot of funds.

Louise Moore

Thanks, Ed, Cheryl, Richard and Ana! I thought it was great that of all science correlations to craft a guitar, he thought of our hearts. He took it seriously playing to the beat of melding science, art and music!

Rose Madura

Very ingenious. God gave someone an imagination to create beautiful guitars. Wow! So cool. 👍

Adam Pick

Amazing!!!

Richard Munson

Les paul, look out. He might be dead though.

Deena Z

Cool! Gonna play the blues with extra heart! - hah, but true.

Louise Moore

Patsy, that was the over the top aspect that wowed me too!
