I feel so lucky

[question everything]

Last November spouse was diagnosed with aortic root dilation, meaning an open heart surgery.

But... as long as it would not progress to an emergency one, it was considered elective and was told to wait to February, with the hope that all the Covidiot who celebrated the holiday would by then be flushed from the hospital system.

And it was. Spouse who by then was 75 got both vaccines before the surgery; I had to wait a few days. By then even visitors were allowed to the hospital. Spouse stayed there 10 days and then three weeks at a rehab where visitors were not allowed.

And now, when I see all the nonvaxxers filling hospitals again, we feel so lucky to have managed to use the really short opening.
