I had a medical examination in November last year, which took me three days at the hospital. The result was that three spots in my coronary artery are strictured. As operation using catheters is not applicable in my case I am to have bypass surgery soon.
The last time I consulted the doctor he told me that he might move to another hospital in April. As it was not an official decision he said we would determine the course to be taken definitely at the next consultation. And tomorrow I am to meet my doctor. If he transfers to another hospital, I will have to follow him. As my doctor in charge is a physician, he himself will not perform bypass operation but aftercare is absolutely necessary. I was glad that I will not be deserted by him. He said, 'Let's think about the future in ten years.' He would not have recommended to have bypass surgery if I were late in my seventies.
Though it was a little bit cold today, I could feel that spring is just around the corner when I saw rape blossoms. Trees and flowers seem to infuse me with new life. I do hope everything will go well. I am anxious tonight.
Monika and Manfred, thank you for coming to see my diary. It is long since I wrote the diary here last. Time flies. It was almost two years ago that I got sick. It is my pleasure that you offer for my health and well-being.

I decided to follow you over here, since I somehow do not only want to post you "whatever other award" to one of the flickr comment boxes - and any serious talking over there for me at the moment seems more prevented than ever before due to the heavy posting of blinking and shiny stuff.
I do hope that things will go right for you - and if you want to accept them, I offer my prayers for your health and well-being from over here, the other side of the world.
You seem to have found a great physician...
Lots of good thoughts for you, and have a relaxing weekend!
Monika (& Manfred as well...)
