bigpike- definitely a reality check for all of us. Very glad to hear you made it through the big event. I know of two people that also had endocarditis, one apparently picking it up during a visit to his dentist and he at the time was a healthy 42 year old... A normally mundane thing (visiting dentist) turning into a life-threatening condition. Not to scare anyone away from the dentist, as dental health is very important too!
Take good care and best of wishes to you and all your family this Holiday season.
