Scheduled for surgery Tuesday July 6th, 2004

[Guest guest]

Okay, now I'm getting a bit nervous. I went in a week and a half

ago after completing all the tests and such and getting all of my

releases and they had a cancellation so POOF I'm scheduled in two

weeks. Oh, really? Thank you. ARRRGGGHHH!! I didn't really have

time to think and now after a life of Chicago pizzas and ribs and

barbequed steaks I'm going to be limited to an ounce or two of baby

food and I find out yesterday I'll probably be in intensive care

with a respirator for up to 4 days. All of this is happening a bit

faster than I thought. My wife cannot come because of our 2 month

old and so I will be going in and post surgical by myself. That is

hard and her and my also but I'm just suddenly frightened. HELP!

lol It's not funny but it is funny but its not funny. I'm sure

there are a lot of you who had or will have these feelings and I

need some 'peer' encouragement etc. Is anybody there?

Respectfully,
