I've known about this issue and have been monitoring it for years. But now it's time. On October 5th, I will have the operation done at the Gagnon Cardiovascular Institute in Morristown, NJ.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of folly, it was the age of faith, it was the age of unbelief, it was the age of Light, it was the age of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us.” — Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities This is life in Ukraine.
