YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE...MAYBE TWICE!
I am scheduled for heart surgery Wednesday morning. At that time I will have my aortic valve repaired, and a section of my aorta replaced with either a pig, cow, or synthetic section of blood vessel. In short, i will become either part undead, or part cybernetic. My preference is for the cow tissue, but the surgeon says he won't know what is most appropriate until he sees what my heart looks like.
I am writing here instead of at my blog, Zombie Logic, because I really don't want people i know to see how I feel about this. At first I suppose I was a little angry. My cholesterol and all my vitals are excellent because I eat well and take care of myself, but I have a congenital heart defect. But after my initial anger, I felt very fortunate that it was found. My aorta has swelled up to over 6.3 centimeters. meaning for a long while now I have lived every day with the specter of sudden death looming over me and never knew it.
Also, I think it's slightly cool that I will soon be either part bovine or swine-ine. I've always enjoyed this community and wanted to post my feelings here just to get it out there so it doesn't fester inside me.

Beating the odds of an AAA is pretty impressive. Getting in touch with your inner beast will now have new meaning for you.
My guess, and hope for you, is that the successful implantation of said graft material(s) will perhaps work for you a la World War Z... thus making you our inside Zombie Killer.
On the serious side... well, hell, that was serious.
So, best wishes. Having taken part in thousands of surgeries over the past couple of decades, I have great faith that you'll not only do fine, but most likely not start mooing, rutting, grunting, etc., HOWEVER, if you suddenly develop a nose for truffles, you're going to be a very rich guy! (So, maybe you can toss some truffles and new Zombie weapons in our CHristmas stockings?? LOL)
In my thoughts and prayers. Tossing Irish luck your way as well.
If you're still feeling a little worried, then.... <.< ...... >.> ..... O-O.... okay, keep this to yourself, but you're not on my delivery list. You're going to survive and be just fine. Now I have to get back to reaping and delivering.
I'll make sure to report back on how it feels to be part human, part cow. I wonder if I'll moo.
I know I'm not alone in wishing you the very best. I appreciate your candor because I have no idea how I would react. We will all look forward to hearing from you after your "experience."
Thank you, Venessa. That means a lot to me.

Greetings Everyone, Well it's been awhile. As things go, life carries us all in different directions from time to time but you always find your way home sooner or later. Well, life ain't all fun and games, but right now, things are going good. I have restarted my writing on my book again, and as I learn more about about some of the ROle-playing games I have gotten into, I am seriously thinking about rying to create an actual Zombie Survival Role-playing game. But have not set any time…
