My Mom had an open heart surgery too. She had two valves replaced though her condition was critical when she went into the surgery. Since I was her interpreter, I had to stay with her in the hospital for two weeks and go to all the procedures with her, including the ones that were too unnerving to watch. Hanging around the hospital for such a long time, was one of the strangest and best experiences in my life; knowing all of the relatives of the critical patients, going back to the same cafeteria and trying to come up a new food combination, coming back to check if there was any improvement, sleeping in an armchair, learning where they were from and all about their lives, watching people come and go, understanding the dynamics of their relationships, all of that was like a trip of a lifetime that catapulted me ten years ahead of myself.

The title made me all too eager to read, and I love your newest swimming-pool invention. And as long as I can sleep on the porch in the warm Florida weather, I'll pitch in my five bucks.

Ruben, that's the Titanic-dogpaddle-swimming-on-dirt stroke. I invented it. And yeah, let's buy that house. Maybe I can convince my mom to make dinners for us when we have our secret TGW meetings. Who's up for Thanksgiving in Flahrida? Thanks for the well-wishes, everyone. Ruben, that’s the Titanic-dogpaddle-swimming-on-dirt stroke. I invented it.
