Under the Knife

After a speedy release last night, I'm back in the hospital this afternoon. My appendix is coming out in an hour an a half or so. It seems that the chills and the pain in my lower right side are something that that the docs are unwilling to take chances on. All of my symptoms became worse last night and this morning.

As a side note, they also offered to remove my index and table of contents - but I thought that might be too radical. :)

  1. While Patrick descends into general anesthesia, stage 3, I would like to take this opportunity to make the announcement of our long-awaited political & philosophical moan. My colleague and I, Patrick, have suffered our lot, sacrificed the hours to bring you the following:

    I Wanna Diatribe!

    It is a gaping wonder and we are, now, unveiling it to the world. We are humble that this thread of the personal to public conscience will now, finally, have its day on the world scene.

    Patrick, those note cards I color-coded really mean a lot to me. Thank you.

  2. Good thing they didn't listen to your crazy talk, you need your index and TOC! They could probably safely remove some footnotes though :) Hope surgery goes quickly and smoothly so you can get back on track to head home.
