Rob -- Are you ready?

Hey Rob Just taking this opportunity to wish you well tomorrow. I'm sure you have a checkist and are up-to-date. Remember, I'm right downstairs x6409 just pick up any phone and dial the four-digit number if you want. I don't want to intrude, so I'll just wait to hear from you. I really mean it though, if you need anything I can run out lunchtime and bring it in. Thinking of you, Dianne NO -- DAY TEN (Double digits) -- and "it ain't pretty".

Hi Dianne, Thanks so much for your offer to help. I think I'm ready. I have to stop eating and drinking at midnight, and can't even do water till surgery time. That is going to be tough on me since I usually have gulped down 1/2 gallon by noon. Surgery is at 1pm and is supposed to last about 3 hours. My wife will be sitting in the waiting room on the 7th floor. I'll keep your number in mind in case I can't convince them I don't want that blasted juice. Congratulations on day 10. Also on day 11 and 12 since I have a lot of confidence in you. Pre-Plastic Rob Hard to believe that I am really going to go through with this....

Rob, I am sooooooooooooo excited for you., Lots of good luck. I will be thinking of you. Ellen

Thanks Ellen, Just got back from Dr. Malek's office. So now I am marked up with marker to make sure that they slice the right sections and leave the right pieces. So maybe it is time to get a bit apprehensive, but all I feel is excitement. (By the way i am actually not going to the gym tonight... they have decided to fly their flag at half-mast until I am able to return). Thanks for thinking of me. Hopefully, I will be showing the scars at our next meeting as long as everything goes all right. Pre-Plastic Rob

I know you will do fine. Gym's flags at half-mast, LOL.

Hijack, Good Luck Rob!!!! If they give you a pain pump, use it!!! Remember to walk, sip & breathe. Then walk, sip & breathe again. Remember if you need anything, give me a call, I'm only a street away. See you on the other side. Save me a seat on the post plastic Looser's bench. Elissa

I hope we get to see picks of the marked man! Can we call you Zorro? Good luck tomorrow and I hope the pain is minimal! Just for you I'll drink a 1/2 gallon H2O before lunch tomorrow. I know I can do it! Can wait to see the Ladies Room Show! Be Good! And when you are done we will get to say.....(Billy Crystal Voice) YOU LOOK MARVELOUS! See ya soon. Star of the Month... Debbie

Dianne, Keep up the good work. Double Digits are good...soon we will be celebrating triple digits. Yeah. Ellen

Thanks, Ellen. I hope so.
