Crani Prep
i had my dry run at the surgery unit today. they took numerous pints of blood, asked the questions regarding my medical history for the umpteenth time, chest x-ray and gained a deeper glimpse of what to expect during and after surgery. the nurses i have encountered have been exceptionally kind. all of them have raved about the neurosurgeon performing my operation, Dr. Jerone Kennedy. Although he is supposed to be the best brain surgeon in Minnesota, i have to admit i am a bit anxious about the surgery. what i am dreading most is the thought of not being able to do ANYTHING athletic for three months! that is uncharted territory for the kid. i can only imagine how irritable i will be. i feel sorry for anyone that will be spending any amount of extended time with me.

Troop,
Kelly Flinn just forwarded me your blog info. I'll be thinking of you on the 25th.
Since you won't be able to play any sports for a while, let's get Flinn, Mullin and a few other degenerates together and toast to your healthy return to competitive kick ball. Take care of yourself and I look forward to seeing you this spring.

Hey Trouper - thinking of you lots!!! As Robert said, being one of the degenerates, it's only right that we plan the celebration party. That's my role and I accept.
Love you so much, sending you great energy, and planning the partego!!!

Patrick! I am thinking of you. I had no idea. Please let me know anything I can do. Warm thoughts from California.
Hi Patrick,

You will be fine, and are in good hands. Zion and I think of you every day. You have our full support.
Pat - I'll spend time with you no matter what your mental state is...I'll hold you in my thoughts and prayers on Tuesday (and everyday). With much affection, Kay
