"You Can't Always Get What You Want," But . . .
/
If I had to pick a time to avoid open heart surgery like the plague (oops; useless expression these days), I would avoid it now when Maine Medical Center is packed with more Covid patients than any time since the start of the pandemic.
But, as Mick Jagger says, “you can’t always get what you want.” Sigh. (I sang that to my very young daughter when she was asking for the impossible. We always ended up dancing around the kitchen, so it worked.)
The song goes on to say that sometimes, “you get what you need.” I needed a new aortic valve.
