Merry Christmas to all. I am thankful for even being here this year. After making a complete recovery from bypass surgery by wife told me how close to death I was during my 18 or so days in cardiac intensive care unit in July. Back in July and August I had no idea I would ever feel well enough to do my lights this year. But thanks to a lot of support from my wife , the Heart Path re-hab folks and blood clot surgery in Sept. ( think roto rooter) I am 60 pounds lighter and can run 2 miles at a time now. I am thankful for my family, my new found health and a place like this were its normal to discuss Christmas lights, mini trees and extension cords all year round and no one thinks you have lost your mind.
