Hi Bob,

You know your friends are really good ones when they are able to make you laugh about your condition or the steps through the condition. God, I love it.

But the next time a doctor delivers bad news to me in the 11th hour before surgery I'm just go kill him. I'll make him drink 64oz of salt water in 15 minutes and watch him beg for mercy and I'll tell him it's for his own good.

Apparently someone else backed out for the early morning appointment so I gave to get there at 6am. I said, "Say What?" I won't even go to bed tonight due to pre surgery prep. I'm sure I'll sleep a lot tomorrow though.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO HHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRYYYY! No food all day. But I did have a beer. They said clear liquid and I think that passes the test. I've never heard of anyone calling a beer food or being included in a food group. It could be a grain, like cereal though. I'm not sure.

Well whatever they take out as long as they leave my sense of humor intact I'll do just fine.

Catch ya soon,

Petra
