Today is Wednesday, August 20th, less than a week before the surgery. I found out yesterday that I will need to be admitted at noon on Monday and will be staying overnight at the hospital. Given that I had plans to spend the day with Lauren, a few early evening hours with some coworker friends and the rest of the night with Lauren and Tricia, I'm pretty bummed out about this. However, given that this early admission is clearly in my best interests (they are doing additional tests on my blood to ensure a lower risk of a bleeding episode), I'm glad that every precaution is being taken.
Speaking of coworkers, today was my last day at Mercer. Definitely a tough day for me, as it drove the point home that this surgery is just around the corner. I truly enjoy my job and work with a wonderful group of people - hardworking, talented, and they let me join in most of their fun activities (volleyball tournaments, softball league, fantasy football league, happy hours, etc.) even though I'm a few years older than most of them (perhaps more than a few years, but who's counting...) I haven't had more than 10 days in a row off of work since I graduated from college in 1992, and it will be very strange to not go to work for such a long time. Need to do something to keep my brain fresh. Maybe that Sudoku book that my coworkers gave me today can help me with that...
Gotta go - Vegas is calling my name. Should be one hell of a last weekend for my leaky valve...

Jason and Tricia,
We met last year at the 4th of July parties at the Grancorvitz and Russell houses. Cailyn really enjoyed playing with Lauren and asks occassionally about her "new" friend. If over the next several weeks you need some quiet time, we would love to have Lauren over for a playdate. Please don't hesitate to contact us. We are in the neighborhood registry.

Hey Smithers-
Just wanted to wish you the best for your surgery tomorrow. Had a great time in Vegas this weekend. While all of our Vegas weekends are fun, this one was special. Can't wait to book next years trip.
T-Bone
