And There They Go

(the time is now)

Okay, here's the story - I have spent two weeks recovering to pass a second blood test (I failed the first one) in time to meet the requirements for a tonsillectomy. 7:30 AM, tomorrow morning. 6 hour hospital stay - 10-14 day recovery period. Unbelievable... but finally, finally necessary.
It's like the Final Solution. For my throat.
I hate these short entries. I want to talk about fun stories, grandiose thoughts, and little intricacies. But one must survive before one can live - and these tonsils have messed with both my life and my survival for too long. Yes, I will be going through a painful procedure with a long recovery period for an adult. Yes, I will be missing Thanksgiving dinner - the holiday most oriented to just eating - as family and friends wolf down turkey and corn like its going out of style. Yes, I will be on short-term disability from work and out of touch with the world for two weeks.
But they've got to go.
Tomorrow's the big day. Catch everyone on the flip side.
