John, This just made my day. Congrats on getting to the "other side". You made it. -- and, in very, very, very, very difficult and trying time. You truly are a #HeartWarrior. Great job buddy! Fyi, I'm imagine the CC team is already looking forward to that cookie-package. Be well.... Read more.

Glad you're on the road to recovery John! I too had a great experience at the Cleveland Clinic. They are the best and are always striving to do even better!

Congrats on being on the other side! You did it. Remember to rest, walk, rest, walk, repeat. May God bless you and your wife as you navigate the recovery journey.

Phyllis Petersen
