Wish me luck folks! I have to be at the hospital by noon and surgery starts at 2.

I cannot beleive it's finally here. I've made a kind of spiritual peace with all of it and I'm not nervous or scared anymore. I am looking forward to my new life and all that it will afford me.

Thank you for your inspiration, motivation and insight up until this point. The next time you hear from me, I'll be on the losers bench.

Much love

Alan

Hey guys!! I'm out if surgery and feeling GREAT! Morphene is my friend and my nurses are amazing.

NO GAS PAINS AT ALL.

Glad everything went well! Hope you are up and at 'em soon!

I am actually. The incision where he pulled my stomach out through is really the only one that hurts. I just walked around down through all of the corridors and I can honestly say, besides the initial pain from waking up I'm really surprised at how much I blew this out of proportion in my own mind.
