Ocala Star-Banner
A few readers have inquired about the cardiac procedure I underwent recently, so I will attempt, as best I can, to explain. This will be with the understanding between us that I am no expert in these matters. My greatest talent usually lies in the domain of asking stupid questions, rather than giving complex explanations. But, here goes:
The human heart is composed of several compartments, and one of those is called the left atrial appendage. That, so I’ve read, is where blood clots can form in non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients and those clots can trigger strokes or heart attacks.
COVID-19 and vaccines still seem to be the talk of the day here in Beautiful Marion County. In a column last week, several readers reported on the positive experiences they had in getting their vaccinations.

I also signed up the morning of the 29th for myself and husband and we are still waiting for a call for an appointment. It has now been over 30 days without a call. I forward the home phone to my cell if I have to go anywhere. They also have my email and we haven t received anything there other than the original notification that they received my request for shots.
