Had the date, got the time, too!

Well, Dr. McCarthy's assistant called late yesterday afternoon. They want me to be at the hospital Monday at 11:00 AM, so I guess that means that I'm scheduled in the OR at around 1:00 PM. That said - probably won't be any updates until evening, but either my wife or my daughter will post for me.

Between now and then - brunch with some ham radio buddies today, dinner with the family this evening, then a quiet day at home with the family tomorrow.

Soon enough. . .

Pack a bag? Sounds like all I will need should fit into one of those little throw away grocery bags. . .

Sure, pack an overnight bag or backpack with a few things that will comfort you.
My hospital wasn't near my home so I took along spare clothing, toothbrush/paste, lip balm, writing paper/pen,
peppermint gum, slippers, small book, hair comb, etc. Nothing fancy just basics.
