I’ve been waiting and worrying over any news of recent heart valve replacement surgery. Every time I clicked on another article that quotes from Mick Jagger’s twitter account, that I, of course, follow and check each morning. This morning the most recent tweet finally changed to this.
“Thank you everyone for all your messages of support. I’m feeling much better now and on the mend- and also a huge thank you to all the hospital staff for doing a superb job ”
At last I could exhale. My heart could relax. This was the news about the health of a celebrity about whom I care. And he was having heart surgery, something I know about, first hand. But, lucky for him he was having minimally invasive heart surgery.
The surgery I underwent was maximally invasive, involving cracking open my sternum and cutting a hole in my heart big enough to remove a large tumor, then patching the hole with an actual patch ( guaranteed to last 100 years ) 💯. My zipper scar is long and is proof of my strength.
I still think of the scar as a sexy line that enhances my ample cleavage. Ironically, it’s mostly women commenting on it.
While I’m a little sad that we won’t have a scar in common, I’m more than thrilled if a wee bit jealous that his recovery will be quick and relatively pain free.
Note to Jagger, you’ll be playing with the kids and grandkids and the boys in the band in no time. 😉
Who would have thought that this is the guy in the band who doesn’t have the bum ticker.
That’s some scar, mate.
Have a good weekend
I’m glad you and Mick do have at least one thing on common: that both of you survived your surgery, and that yours was maximally invasive AND survivable counts as a matter of sheer toughness on your part.
I’m glad that both of you made it through.
Is maximally even a word? I just guessed that minimally actually had an opposite 😊
Loving you for the comment
