Just remembered this one..........Gnu my man, you may have a point when you said,

Thanks to St. Jude for favours received. I'm sure that, with all the praying that went on, he was there in the OR personally. Wouldn't leave someone as important as you to just a guardian angel.

The artificial valve they put in which is ticking away so happily is a very tried and true piece called a "St. Jude's Valve," named for it's place of invention at St. Jude's Hospital and Research Center. Don't try to read too much into it my friend, let's just go have a Turkey Turd Beer together!
