The Chicago Sun-Times interviewed Jim Lovell about his two recent vascular-related surgeries in light of February being American Heart Month. "Life's a risk for everybody," said the former commander of Apollo 13. "You have to measure very carefully the pros and cons."I've made decisions all of my life. That Apollo 13 was risky all the way, we had to make decision after decision. Fortunately, the decisions we made on how to get back home again were successful." Simple tasks like raising a limb are cherished after Lovell’s two surgeries. The first procedure was last summer to his neck. His second surgery last autumn addressed leg weakness. | |
