In USA Today (April 13, 2015) there is a story about Mark Gentle's son, Carter, who is sad about his open heart surgery scars. Mark created a Facebook post and it has been viewed by over a million people including me. If you are able please post on the post or like it to help the young man feel better. I'm sorry I don't know how to post that link in my phone.

I was sad to read it I almost cried at work. I don't remember a time without my open heart surgery scars.

    You have scars, too? Hope you're doing well.

    Even with no replies, hopefully some people are heading to FB. Unfortunately, I'm not a user.

    1974, 1975, 2013 are years I had open heart surgeries. I'm doing well. It looks like a few people on the board had OHS as well.

    I hope you are doing well, too!

    Wow...three surgeries? Yowsza! I'm glad to hear you are well. I just had the one. Have not had any issues since (knock on wood).
