Just had my last meal before surgery - Caren made a super homemade pizza - and I downed it with about 55 gallons of water and some pop since I don't get to have any liquids either.
Admittedly, I am a little anxious (who wouldn't be), but I feel positive about how things will go. Leon is not too thrilled with the whole situation, but he will get over it - heck, he doesn't have much of a choice now, does he?
We will hit the IU Hospital pretty early, check in, and then in a couple of hours I will be on the table sleeping like a babe. Then it is off to recovery for three or four hours, and then Caren and I will head home. With any luck, Caren will not have to drive home during rush hour in Indianapolis. If she does, she has her Mario Andretti hat and will be ready to take on anyone. Pray to God no "ROAD RAGE" kicks in, as you don't want to piss Caren off while she is driving!
Thanks for all the notes and messages of good health and best wishes. I will update everyone here as soon as I am able to let you know that I am fine (maybe Tuesday morning?). Until then, remember what Caren and I often say, "If I don't hear from you, I will assume no news is good news."

Mattie, THinking of you today and throughout your cancer experience. You're going to do great with the surgery. Just make sure they know which one to remove! I'm not kidding - I work with docs. I'll be checking your blog. I enjoyed the carpe testes commercials. Glad to see you're not taking this so seriously! I'm going to see if FedEx will guarantee shipment and I'll send you one of my world famous congealed salad's to help you in your recovery process! Yummmm..... do you have a favorite flavor? Yours, L
