Surgery starts at 1pm on Monday. Will be in ICU for 1-2 days after that. Hopefully be out of the hospital by end of the week. Will be out of work for about 2 months, so you might see more of me here than normal once chest gets better. Only so many episodes of "Army Wives" and "SVU" that I can watch with the wife.
