Minus a spleen
It's official, I met with the surgeon this morning and have been penciled in his appointment book on November 21st, the day before Thanksgiving. So when the rest of America is gorging on turkey and pumpkin pie, I'll be in recovery. Amazing thing is that its pretty cool, its laparoscopic splenectomy. They make 3 incision for tubes with video cameras and lasers, its kind of amazing. Plus I'll be able to ski before the New Year. My mother is coming to stay with me for 2 weeks, honestly that stresses me out more. Most amazing after all is done, I'll probably no longer be a feather weight drinker, I'll have way more energy, so I'll be able to ski faster and harder, climb more mountains and have all around less worries. More to come for now I have to do the 101 things on my list before Nov 21st.

you saying your spleen slows you down considerably, or is it like an internal kryptonite?
You're not gonna be a cheap date anymore? Guess we'll have to start getting an extra bottle of wine for Bachelor night.
TAMF in me sort of is at odds, though I think I'll be more productive and therefore can afford more wine. No more internal kryptonite.
My biggest question was WHY must your spleen be removed? I did some research and see it's for low platelets...My next question then, why didn't you do it sooner?
