    They do two CAT scans today, one at the VA and one at OHSU. The one at OHSU is highly specialized and has that type of CAT scanner in the state. They need to know if they can go in through a thigh artery or if they'll have to go through the chest to correct my failing heart valve.
    Stay tuned, I wish all of you could be there for the operation. Please make the effort.I assume the operation will be at the VA. I suddenly love all of you, Dammit.

    Nice! Make sure those doctors know that there is a forum of nerds who will rain down holy vengeance if anything happens to you.

    Good luck Lanny! I hope they can go through the artery in the thigh. Much less invasive!

    If that should happen I'll need them to reign down their vengeance.

    Although with inflation, maybe it should be a billion bucks.

    My only concern about doing the surgery through your groin is the shock those nurses are going to have when they see under your kilt.

    It’ll be so great when this is all done. Maybe you can tryout for the Blazer dance team. Good luck and stay positive, we’ll be thinking of you and keep us posted.
