I wrote this Sunday because Monday I’ll be in the hospital and by the time you read this have already had my surgery. Sunday I had to drink a whole lot of prescription stuff (a whole gallon in a 3-hour period) to get my system ready for the procedure. I alternated between drinking and running to the bathroom.  They also put me on a couple of antibiotics to help my body fight potential infection.

Anita says she doesn’t want me updating everyone Monday, either, because she said I’d be loopier than normal with all the pain killers. So, perhaps she’ll give you an update if you check this blog Tuesday. Meanwhile, I’d really appreciate your prayers for a speedy healing.  Thanks.
