Wednesday Update

What an age we live in...you can rent movies from the comfort of your couch, the Clapper has revolutionized the way we turn off our lights, and despite the fact that I am currently confined to a Philadelphia hospital bed, I am able to publish this blog post via email.The pace is quickening on the medical front. I went in to meet with our surgeon today, and to my surprise, he thought my headache symptoms warranted immediate admittance into the hospital. We wil be doing the angiogram tomorrow, and that will dictate which type of surgery is necessary. Any surgery would likely be performed friday, which means I'm here for the duration.I'm confident this process will go well, and it better, since my brain is kind of my money maker. I'm not the brightest guy, but I was blessed with a kick-ass short-term memory. Its the sole reason I have instant recall of vital information like internal revenue code sections, the 1992 Heisman Trophy winner, and the complete lyrics to every song ever sung in The Simpsons (see my vest, see my vest, made from real gorilla chest....see this sweater, there is no better, than authentic irish setter...)Apparently, my aneurysm is located in the part of the brain that controls short term memory, and I sure would hate to lose that gift with one stroke of a scalpel.I'm in great hands, as my surgeon is considered the best in the country when it comes to aneurysms. I even have a friend who was operated on by him and swears he's as good as it gets. Of course, when you think about it, everyone thinks their brain surgeon is the best, becase those that had shitty surgeons aren't really around to provide the negative feedback, if you know what I mean. On second thought, maybe its best if I don't think about that too much.This should all be over soon, and ill be recovering on the beach before you know it. In the meantime, if you see my wife over the next few days, give her a hug and a kiss for me (not on the lips, Carl).Thank you again for your positive thoughts and prayers. They will get me through this trying time. Talk to you soon,Tony
