A real Shock

It is 2:50 am and I can't sleep because in little more than 4 hours my good friend Chayim Yehudah will be undergoing open heart surgery. It is nerve wracking even though I know there is a 96% chance he will leave the hospital healthy having had a Doctor open his chest cut out his aortic valve and replace it with a mechanical one. I know this has nothing to do with what I am about to blog about but I hope you understand that it is simply what is on my mind.
