Cardiac surgery. In nine hours, I have to report to the Krupp Clinic in Essen. If there is trouble, I'll be out of commission for a while. If there is a disaster, I'll be gone for good. In all likelihood, however, I'll be back here late Saturday. With heart surgery, you never know, but 22 years ago, this very place saved my life, and their technology has only improved since then.
So, signing off for tonight, and, probably, tomorrow morning, too. For those of you who take religion seriously, tell the Great Pumpkin that he had better not let me down, or else next Halloween you'll be getting a Zucchini instead!

(260,764 posts)Sounds like you're in exactly the right place to get the best care possible and sending all the best to your lovely wife, too, since she no doubt could use some support as well.

(21,022 posts)However, if the very worst should happen - and we all hope it doesn't - make certain DJT has the next number out of that little ticket dispenser, please? 😉
You'll be fine, and take all the time you need to recover. We got this.
P.S.
Now you're good for the next 22 years.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

(60,707 posts)I have to get in touch with them about that on Monday. We'll see what they say.
I figure I might as well keep a sense of humor for as long as I can joke about it. There are plenty of people who are worse off, and have nothing to laugh about at all. I figure I'll lighten up for as long as I can. There's always time to tremble in fright if it is warranted.
