"We were planning to visit Germany and Alsace,France again in late September , but I wasn't feeling well and thought I might be having some trouble with diverticulitis . Went to my doctor to get some antibiotics in case
I got sick on the trip . He recommended I have a CatScan to make sure I didn't already have an infection. Scan showed no divertic. but did show an ascending aortic aneurysim. Further immediate testing and a Cardiac Catherization defined the aneurysm as well as the aortic valve involvement. So, I had open heart surgery on Oct. 15 that replaced the valve and part of the aorta . Great way to lose weight .
Trip postponed . Wait till next year. Kindest Regards, Leo"
