I'm sure most regular listeners and most 'Catters are aware that Garrison Keillor had a mitral valve replacement at the Mayo on July 25. Nice to have something in common with him, but I was luckier to be somewhere that had a daVinci Robot. You can't believe the difference in having your heart operated on without sawing through the steernum and opening the chest! Dr. Michler has been up to the Mayo on several occasions as well as many other heart centers singing the praises of the daVinci.

Hope Garrison feels as good as I do!
