69. My deepest and humblest gratitude to all who responded

Sun Jun 7, 2026, 07:02 AM

As well as to those who were thinking about it!

I am not sure I merit that kind of out pouring. The situation is such that despite the local cardiologist's efforts so far, I have not yet been given a date for the cardiac clinic in Essen. This is frustrating, but it's not my place to tell them their schedule. I just keep hoping they'll call, and soon. According to the local cardiologist, I should not expect to keel over due to heart failure in the immediate future, but nor should I let this drag on, either. I did want to let the board know, in case of a worst case scenario. I don't plan on it, I don't hope for it, but just in case Mother Nature overrules me, and all. She didn't get her way 22 years ago, and as the TV ad of 50 years ago reminded everyone, "it's not nice to fool Mother Nature."

Good luck! Hope to hear back soon. Never ignore the "check engine" light, except on your car. Duct tape fixes that. surfered Jun 5 #40
