In April 2022 Roberto Casula repaired my mitral valve at the Wellington Hospital. Before I was anaesthetised I asked him to be sure to do « some Ferrari engineering in there if you are going into my heart! ». There is hardly a day that goes by when I do not think of him and his 100% successful operation. I will be ever grateful. In November (seven months after the operation), to regain my pilot’s licence, I got through the exercise ECG test (9 minutes to Bruce P rotocol level 4), but the CAA kept me on the ground until April 2023 before finally giving my licence back. To get through the test (I confess I failed it in October) I forced myself to go jogging every day for a month, working up from 1km to 5kms. With determination I succeeded. Later that month I was hiking and climbing looking at glaciers in Patagonia, one day hiking 23 Km and climbing 4000 feet. At the end of the 2023 year, I enjoyed several days of stag hunting on a horse (exhausting stuff!), and a week of testing skiing. In April 2023, I finally got back into the sport I really enjoy - aerobatics. I started off with an instructor just to make sure my heart would tolerate it. Both Mr Casula and Professor Tom Wong, my cardiologist, had said that, after a successful operation, pulling G would be fine from a cardiological point of view. I then did quite a lot of solo aerobatics in the summer of 2023, and I can confirm that both were absolutely right, to my intense delight! No adverse reactions at all from my heart! So I have fully regained my former lifestyle, for which I am eternally grateful. I am having a lot of fun and am in excellent health – at 73 years old, I seem in much better shape than most of my friends and contemporaries. All thanks to a remarkably successful minimally invasive operation. It was truly a great « Ferrari job »!
