Phase II Initiated
Yes, the yellow bracelet means I'm radioactive. Note red radiation symbols.
The "seeds" have been planted. Technically, I’m “loaded.” Good choice of words. With my movies, games, Spanish lessons, internet, buffet, and inability to be visited, I’m taking a four day vacation from everything and catching up on sleep, bathing, and anything else I deem worthy.
Mike and Reid, Have a wonderful wedding weekend! I love you both like family (which means something from a guy who actually loves his family). I might have missed this special time in your relationship, but I’ll be there in full force, nelson, or monty for all the great times ahead of us all. Congrats on finding and having each other.
Hello everyone else.
PS
Pain medication to help get through post surgery pain….$10
Multiple brands of laxatives to relieve constipation side effects of pain medication…..$20
Radioavtive brachytherapy seeds for your arm to fight cancer...$1,500
Having ALL the laxatives kick-in at once when your on the OR table in front of a room full of doctors, nurses, and technicians…..PRICELESS
Nerd facts:
1. There are 240 seeds in my arm
2. They are made up from Iridium (isotope 192)
3. Duke ships them in from Springfield, VA
4. There are ten strands of seeds, 24 seeds per strand.
5. They remain in my arm for 90 hours
6. When they remove the seeds, I’m radiation free.

That's hard core. Everyone is praying for you except for me. I am busy praying for whoever had to clean up your bung in the OR.
Lucas, just because you are getting married doesn't mean you have to have all joint internet accounts and refer to yourself as lucas. -Ann & David Alexander
I miss the times where Clyde and Luke explained such complex struggles. Please see their entry here for more information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylon_(Battlestar_Galactica)
Good luck this week and weeks in the future.

C-Cheegy,
You were certainly missed last weekend. But there were many, many prayers and good vibes g-mailed your way courtesy of preachers, wedding party, Chegs, etc. Most were likely right before you redecorated the OR. HA!
As promised, now that you are in the Kryptonite Kage, the Steak & Cheese shall unite to fill your inbox with humorous and tasteless emails. Please ask the nurses and docs to knock before entering.
Harper & i cannot wait to come see you. Maybe this week if we can swing it.
Hugs, Kisses, and Luke Johnston Special "Chihuhuas",

CP - Keep yo head up homie. Definitely feel bad for the staff having to deal with your rear. Hopefully it's not as bad as the gorilla back in the Wake days.
Praying for you and Verms,
Owen, Merrie, Presley, and HB
We missed you like crazy this weekend. It was so good to see your wifey. She's a special one. You guys are truly amazing. Keep up the humor- these comments are hilarious. I haven't thought of Yosh in years. I have no idea what a cylon is, but it sounds pretty funny.
Lots of love from the ATL! Shannon & Will
