Hey there online family.
Next Thursday I will be having a fatty/scar tissue filled mass taken out of my right side of my abdomen. It's about softball size (give or take).
Nothing to worry about, just thought I'd let everyone know. Good thoughts and/or prayers are always appreciated...as anything can happen.
Weirdest thing for me is that this is the first time I have ever had surgery, or been knocked out for anything. Should be an experience.

Wear tight shorts in case you get a boner during recovery. Can be embarrassing, with family all around waiting for you to wake up.
Just saying.
Good luck. Try not to think of anything I've just posted.

You know, this might be a good opportunity for you to accessorize.
An extra pocket? Boring I know but handy. I'm sure you can come up with better ideas but you may only have this one chance.

Refuse to leave until you have a scar so badass you're the envy of all. Good luck on Thursday. (And if you don't know who the girl in the picture is, call in your daughter for a consult.)

Copied from my FB page...
I'm home. Surgery went very well. The mass was apparently the size of a small volleyball. Will see the cut tomorrow when I take the bandage off, but it should be pretty good in size based on the bandage alone.
Feeling tired and achy, but good. Pain is not too bad, and he gave me some good stuff if it get's bad.
Thanks to everyone. I have the greatest friends...so many people from so many places in my life. I am blessed. Special thanks to my wife for being there for me.

In addition to the cool scar, you also got your band name: Here's to a quick recovery!
