Weight off my shoulders

After major, heavy-duty abdominal surgery, you would think there would be more complicated, involved instructions for my recovery than, "No heavy lifting for six weeks." But that's basically it. They're kicking me out of the hospital around noon today, and I spend the next four weeks recovering at home.

Weird.

The Old Crohn Medicine Show

To my loyal readers (the four of you know who you are):

We noted in this space some months ago that we're dealing with Crohn's Disease around the 19 Minutes World Media Headquarters. We're about to engage the battle, along with the services of (I hope) a very talented surgeon. We leave for the hospital in about five minutes.

There will be a terrific story to tell. But we've gotta go through it to get through it.

More to come. I promise.
