Dude!

5 days from right now, I will be landing in MN airport.

6 days from now, I will be doing my final blood work and meeting with my surgeon.

9 days from now, I will be awakening to the world minus one body part.

Wow. Suddenly, now that I am finished with conferences, there isn't anything else to think about. Everything I do is in preparation for the surgery. One step closer to this being "real".
