I never knew there were so many zipper club members on this list. I had my aortic valve replaced in Aug. 2002. If you are young they replace it with a mechanical valve and if you are old like me you get a valve made of cow or pig material. Mine is a moo moo.

If you got close enough to him and the room was quiet, you could hear him tick.

I had a heart attack Dec. 27, 2004 right on my wife's birthday. The doctors performed an angioplasty, installing four stents opening four arteries around my heart. To boot they discovered a defective "bicuspid" heart valve during the post ultrasound exam. I guess stainless steel heart valves are in my future!? I'll sound like a TIMEXX watch.

With seven, you must have a zipper. The best is yet to come. When you get healed up you'll feel great. I had six back in 96. They got one out of my left arm from the elbow to the wrist and one from my left leg from the crotch to the knee. Didn't go past the knee. They did mine on a Friday morning and I went home on Tuesday morning.
