OK, so it's been a little over two weeks since my open-heart surgery and I'm feeling better and stronger every day. Today I decided that instead of the daily walking I've been doing, I would try walking with my lawnmower in front of me. It worked very well! I mowed about half my yard then stopped cause I didn't want to overdo it.

I was never short of breath or felt any pain of discomfort. I was careful, paced myself, and took a couple of little breaks. Tomorrow I'll finish the other half.

My most sincere thanks to my cardiologist, Dr. Leo Lopez; Dr. Joseph Lamelas, his team, and his minimally invasive procedure; and all involved in my care at Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami Beach, for the phenomenally successful replacement of my aortic valve.
