Actually, I've been burning the midnight oil working on the final due date for tax returns. In fact the only reason I'm not working right now is that I'm sitting in a hospital waiting room. Mom is in surgery (knee replacement surgery) and I'm sitting in the waiting room bored. Gosh, give your mom my best. Sounds really painful, the actual experience, followed by all the therapy, the extensive rehab, all those medications, and then having everyone around you know what you've been through and how it's changed you...of course, I'm referring to having survived the experience of RAISING JHAP, not the knee surgery, but that doesn't sound like any fun either.

Raising JHAP is a never ending, thankless job. Just ask Ricki, she is going in on the 22nd for either knee replacement or hip replacement surgery (the doctors will decide which is going to take precedence next Monday). People that hang around me much just seem to fall apart.

Hey Jeff we are burning a candle for you Mom Thanks Larry. She is due out of surgery in about a half an hour. I'm sure she'll be fine, she has a great surgeon and is at a good hospital.

JHAP:
Give your mom my best wishes for a speedy recovery. My Dad had both knees replaced at the same time last February.

Best to your mom, JHAP. My mom did two knees at once a number of years ago and then a hip about one year later. She's did great - having the right doc and the right rehab specialist certainly makes all the difference. Plus, you'll no doubt give her some motivation to get up and smack you in the back of the head for some clever quip!

ARGH Jeff I hope she has a speedy and complete recovery. You are allowed no more hospital visits for the next 10 years...this is my edict.

Thanks to all for the kind thoughts and wishes. Mom did quite well in surgery. She finally got to her room last night after 8pm. Long day at the hospital (1pm to 9pm).
Tj, I'd be more than happy if I didn't see the inside of another hospital again for several years. Unfortunately, with Ricki's pending knee surgery and then hip replacement surgery, that's just not going to happen.
What I should do is get a job at the hospital. Heck, I can probably figure out how to remove an appendix, how hard can it be? Does it bother anyone else that the word appendix can mean either (1) an addition to a document, such as a book or legal contract or (2) a human organ. So if someone tells you they had appendicitis, you can never be quite sure whether or not they had a medical problem or a publishing problem.
Do you know that we (the collective we as in the human race type of we, but not to be confused with human wee which is an entirely different subject matter) don't even know what the medical appendix does? Some people know what purpose the book appendix serves, personally it's been years since I've looked at a book appendix, so for me they are a waste of space. Come to think of it, since no one knows what the medical appendix does, I'm kinda thinking that they are a waste of space as well. Just think if you didn't have an appendix you could free up some extra space to store something else in there (oh, I'm back to talking about the medical appendix here, try and keep up will ya?). We could have a second heart to run faster and jump higher. Or perhaps we could fashion a little door to access this extra space or a pouch like a kangaroo. You could carry your wallet, cell phone and Ipod in your appendix pouch. You know, I think I'm on to something here. Dang you people are lucky I never became a doctor.
You want to know a strange bit of JHAP trivia? Too bad, I'm telling you anyway, many years ago my wisdom teeth came in without any problems and they are still in my mouth to this day. That's probably why I'm able to think of all these unusual things. It's like I'm a medical miracle.

Turns out you were actually bimolar instead.

My dentist told me I was also one of the lucky 5% of the population who gets to keep their wisdom teeth. See Jeff it pays to have a big mouth. Sadly it doesn't appear to have made either one of us wiser.
