re: #222 retired cynic

I’m going in for a spinal fix at 0 dark thirty. Getting my existing lumbar fusion extended down to S1. Hoping to be able to walk after this one, and not so much like a penguin! Don’t know how long I will be off the airwaves. The last one was a big deal, and I was out of commission for a long time. This one the doc swears will be much less of a deal, and I should be home in a couple of days.

Extra karma for liveblogging it. Double if you tie in to national politics.
