Re: Second Surgery Worries:

[Guest guest]

I think that actually, quite a while back, someone had a birthday

while wired shut, and found that cake, blended with lots of milk and

ice cream, was quite acceptable for a sort of diminished party. Not

saying that you should diminish your party -- but make your family

and friends give you TWO!!! That's the least you can expect from

good people!
