How’s Your Heart?
Grandpa is going in for his procedure this week,” my mother shared quietly as we sat together on the couch. My elderly grandfather was going in for a second carotid artery stent, a relatively routine procedure but one his surgical team took seriously. “We need to pray it goes smoothly,” she finished.
