Bone saw

-->I don't care what happens, I just don't want to hear the bone saw.<---

It's 12 weeks today since my 3rd open-heart surgery. Getting better has been all over the map, good, bad, tough, & easy (I'm alive!).

Still creaky, still hurty - less so thankfully - and I get super-tired from doing very little but I feel more solid. 

I'm also wrapping my head around the fact that I lost more than 2 1/2 years of my life with that previous terrible, wrong valve that wasn't working for me.
