I can't even have a dignified-sounding medical condition.

After knowing I had a tumor last summer (the pain is different than any other pain I"ve experienced), and not being able to convince anyone outside my family, I finally went back in for another scan in September. Turns out the tumor is finally big enough for them to see, so I'm going in for surgery tomorrow. 3-6 hour surgery with lots of chances for catastrophic failures, then 72 hours flat on my back (and I do mean flat -- 0 degrees inclination), then 6-8 weeks at home recuperating. Poor Wendy is trying to deal with her terminally ill mother (who's still hanging on, but starting that slide) and a one-sided father with no siblings to help, now gets to play nursemaid to me again.

Please keep her and me in your thoughts this week. I'll post again as soon as I can to let you all know how things are going.

You are in my prayers

Best of thoughts to both you and Wendy.

Prayers for you and Wendy and big hugs (unless they hurt, of course, in which case, blown kisses).

Damn! That sounds like a huge PITA.

Good vibes coming your way!

Sending good vibes your way.

Wow. That does not sound fun. You and Wendy will be in my prayers. Good luck with the surgery and recovery.

Get well quickly, Mike.

Thoughts, prayers, hugs.
Love,

Geez Mikey. Do what they tell you, carefully. You and Wendy are in my prayers.

Hope you have a speedy recovery!

I am thinking that Wendy is going to need the majority of the good wishes on this one!

Thinking of you both!

Good luck. You'll be in my thoughts, and we'll be anxious to hear from you. --Bob

Wow. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Does NOT sound like a whole lotta fun. Feel well soon.

Wow. I thought this would be about a scientific process of some sort.

I guess it is.

Best wishes!

My thoughts are with you and Wendy.

Here's hoping for your complete & rapid recovery.

Thoughts, prayers and everything good heading your way. Stay strong.

Good thoughts to all.

Thinking of you and your family. Difficult days ahead for sure and wishing you a quick recovery. Hugs to Wendy, she's gonna need them.

That doesn't sound like a fun way to spend 2 hours, let alone 72...

Best wishes to you on a full and speedy recovery....

Wear your sunglasses tomorrow, Mr. K. I have sent the White Hot Glare to hover over you, Wendy, and all your loved ones with wishes to protect, heal and comfort all of you, as circumstances may require.

I hope you won't mind. You may think of it, if you prefer, as something like the Flying Spaghetti Monster, only brighter, warmer, and far less stringy.
