Ahh, the date of your surgery IS interesting and important. I start RT the day after and will think of you:) I know what it's like to be a worry wart ...

I keep thinking about the concept of "positive thinking" and how it can be a glib and facile term. But the simple notion of taking things step by step, one day at a time and enjoying the moment is valuable and kind of doable. It seems strange to get advice for living from "Breaking Bad" (haven't seen it all yet) but I keep thinking of Saul the lawyer and his "PMA": "positive mental attitude".

Not long till you graduate! Do you have to sit exams? What was your previous major?

And I do wish you luck. Take all the painkillers they offer. They won't want you to be in pain and there's no need to be.
