valve which was replaced): "As weird as it
sounds, it's one of the best things that ever
happened to me. First of all, it's over and done with
as long as I take care of myself, and I live so much
healthier now than I did before. And, you know, I
smile a lot more than I did before. I'm grateful
about this. This is great."
