Brain Boy

Thank you all ... friends and family ... for all your wonderful messages and prayers. Special thanks to Dr. Harry van Loveren who is the most incredible neurosurgeon in the world (true), my fantastic kids Josh, Alissa (who came in from DC) and Nikki (Dr. Preggers who came in from Savannah to be with me) and my incredible wife Debbie who has done everything for me including wearing a buzzer (not really ... but a good idea huh?)

More special thanks to my terrific family for being there for Debbie and me while I was in surgery for 8 hours! Steve, Dennie, Tom and Keli who even came in to look at my catheter in recovery (a story for another day).

I love you all ... wish I could thank all personally.  I promise to blog all the gory details soon ... but I tend to doze off now and then from the pain zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz killers.
