My doctor has recommended I get the new watchman implant to close off blood clots from forming in my head! I have to be in Lincoln at 7:30 Monday morning! If all goes well I'll post here tomorrow!

For anyone who wants to know more about the device (which I’d never heard of) there’s a clear animation here of the procedure…

In the accompanying article I was relieved to read that there have been over 43,000 implants done in the US, and that it is not very risky and quite successful in achieving its goals.
