Some of you know that back in May I was rushed into emergency open heart surgery to repair a coronary artery dissection. In short, one of the arteries that fed blood to my heart had split like a garden hose, putting me at severe risk of immediate death. This rare diagnosis is seldom made prior to an autopsy, so I am incredibly fortunate to be alive.
As you might guess, this has made Thanksgiving especially meaningful for me this year. After all, having a second chance at life is a gift that not all heart patients get to enjoy. In the last six months, I have come to appreciate everything in new and unexpected ways.
