Well, I had my presurgical testing yesterday. They did an EKG, Pulmonary Funtion Test, took chest xrays, took enough blood to quench a vampire's thirst, and asked a couple million questions. I'm all set for this Tuesday. I'll be the first to be operated on that morning. Gotta be there at 5am. Then after the operation I'll be taken to ICU. Five days minimum in the hospital. My daughter is taking leave from the Navy and flying home. We are getting a room in Springfield for Monday night. That way we won't have to leave here at 3am. I can't have a lot of things including my cell phone and my laptop so I'll be out of touch for a while. My mother is having a defibrilator put in Monday, can't put in a new Pacemaker, and I'm more worried about her than myself. Got a lot to do between now and then so may not be online much, if at all. Anywho, see ya's when I can.
