RE: It's surgery
First day I felt like sitting at my laptop. Hopefully I'll be able to go home Tuesday, but it will depend in how clear the chest tubes are.

On behalf of Cheryl and myself (as well as my brother and two sisters) I want to thank everyone for the kind thoughts and support. This has been an eye-opening experience for me from a number of angles, not the least of which is trying to type with a pulse-ox thingy on my finger. I received the second chance that my father never got when his heart attack took his life at 39. I will make use of every moment I have and (don't worry Craig) will get some books done. The doctor did an absolutely wonderful job and is very pleased with the outcome. Weird seeing the scar down my chest, but I'll get used to it soon enough.

As soon as I get home and get this stuff off my fingers, I'll give a more detailed update.

Note: The nurse just took the pulse-ox off, so now I'm doing somewhat better.

Best
Rob
