Personal health is so important, as we all know, and I am positive of my recovery going into a September 6th Open Heart Surgery at the International Heart Institute located at Providence/St. Patrick's Hospital in Missoula, MT. After a couple of years of heart echo tests following my gradually closing Aortic Valve, the doctors determined it was time for surgery. So first I went through some tests, including going into the heart area taking photos, etc., hoping that the latest, less invasive TAVR (transcatheder aortic value replacement) surgery would take care of the problem. However, the tests disclosed a coronary artery with a 75% blockage, requiring a double bypass operation as well as the valve replacement - so Open Heart Surgery, which has been "perfected" over many decades, is what must be done. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers, and stay with us on my Newsletters as I hope to give you good news in a few weeks from now!
In the meantime, the highly touted (by the Trump Administration) Tax Reform Bill (4-page summary issued April 26, 2017) still has not resulted in any tax legislation via the House Ways & Means Committee - no surprise, is it?! So it seems I will recover as I hope from the surgery and be back doing webinars and sending out update Newsletters before any tax reform really happens!
Thanks so much for your presence and support with my Newsletters over recent years, and I hope to send one out as soon as possible announcing my surgery and recovery from it - which usually for Open Heart Surgery takes 3-4 months. By the way, I will be checking email after the surgery, and for several months while my wife, Mary Ann, and I reside in Missoula, our cell phone is where we can be reached: 208-413-2625.
Regards to all. Owen Fiore
