Pat is coming home !
Hi Bogleheads:
I was a Manhatten truck driver in 1950 when I married Pat who was a top fashion model and the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. Pat was hostess for our first Boglehead Reunion in March 2000 and has given me constant support during more than 35,000 combined posts on the Morningstar Diehard and Boglehead forums and while writing the Boglehead books.
On Thursday, February 23, Pat woke up with a "heavyness" in her chest and throat. That night she had open-heart surgery. She expects to return home Monday morning! I can hardly wait.
If you would like to give Pat a message, post it here. She will read it Monday.
Thank you and best wishes.
Taylor

Hi Pat,
Congratulations on your Homecoming! We've been thinking about you everyday, since Taylor shared the news of your heart surgery. We already knew that you're a strong lady, but this proves it. Taylor will be much happier with you at home, that's for sure. We hope that you'll feel stronger each day.

Update: I want to mention that my Dad had a valve replacement when he was 75. That was 12 years ago and he's still working. (That's a different problem - at 87, he still loves his job. )

Congratulations on the successful surgery, and well wishes for the rest of the recovery.
Re: Pat is coming home !
Wonderful, wonderful news......
I'm sure you won't recognize me but I'm on the board often....reading and learning; posting sparingly (when the occasion arises.) And I always read anything Taylor posts...even if it doesn't pertain to me. He's a real marvel!
Wishing you both the very best.....

Re: Pat is coming home !
Congratulations on returning home to continue your recovery! I know it must have been a difficult couple of weeks for both Taylor and yourself . My prayers are with you both! There are certainly many people out there who owe you a debt of gratitude for everything you've done, both directly and indirectly to teach, support and assist them in their savings and investment goals. Your assistance and support has certainly allowed many people to lead happier, less stressful and better lives. I know that I can certainly say that because my wife and I have personally benefited greatly from your kindness and you've helped us put together a firm foundation with which to raise our 3 and 5 yo daughters. I found Bogleheads in ~2003, when I was 23 and fresh out of college and I will forever grateful for that. I suppose you could say I stumbled across it and the community has done much to improve my life and I give both you and Taylor much of the credit in this regard. It is nice to know that there are people out there who genuinely care about others and are willing to selflessly give and that seems to be a life-long trend for your household. Here's to a full recovery and many more years of happiness
God Bless,
Ben

Re: Pat is coming home !
I'm glad to read of Pat's improvement, Taylor.
Your devotion to her is as worthy of admiration as your financial advice help to others. It seems you applied the same tools, marry and hold to your personal life as your investing life. Though, thankfully you started, and stayed with marry and hold! I believe I have read that you didn't start out investing using buy and hold.

Hi Pat:
So glad to hear the good news! Here's to a speedy and full recovery. As you know, Jack Bogle got a new heart, and now you've had your 100,000 mile "overhaul", so hopefully that means that two of my favorite people (you and Jack) will be around for a long, long time.
All the best to you and Taylor.
