34. I saw the nurse practitioner for the first time in years last month

And told her how she saved my life - twice over. She was training a new NP that day so the younger woman got to hear how great the experienced NP was. They were both happy to hear the story.

I don't get to see the cardiothoracic surgeon anymore, now that I don't need his services. The original cardiologist is still my go to guy though I don't have to see him often. Saw him last year to get clearance for a different operation. (I'm trying to set a world record for most operations in one lifetime without a per-existing medical condition.)
