I've been thinking about you a lot, Andy. This is great news.

My surgery will be at UC Davis, which has a pretty good reputation, too. I'm still scared. :)

Of course, your follow-up will be much more scary than mine. BIG HUGS, ANDY!!!!!!!!

You'll be OK. :)

81. Rock on Andy!

Good deal!

[Stinky The Clown]

82. Andy, I know Hopkins (all too) well. Good For You! They're the best!

And when you're in Baltimore, let us know. We're right down the street.

(ps, don't be too shocked at the neighborhood around Hopkins .... its much better than it used to be!)

[LatePeriduct]

83. "That's a good son, he made it. Don't you think."

From The Godfather I think it was.

[Princess Turandot]

84. That's terrific! There's no better hospital in the US..

I'm a bit biased: I'm an alumnus of the undergraduate college. I was in their first class that admitted women.

I had surgery there while I was in college. I found out years later that the guy who operated on me who helped staff the women's clinic at the undergrad school despite being quite busy because he was Chief of OBG, was considered among the finest doctors in the annals of that field. (A doctor I had seen in the 1990's asked me where I had had surgery and who had done it, and to my surprise, her jaw practically hit the ground.) Nicest guy in the world. I was hospitalized twice, once over Thanksgiving weekend; he came and spent an hour with me on Thanksgiving Day, which he certainly had no obligation to do.

[Tracyjo]

85. good luck to you, Andy

I know you don't know me, but I'm on your side. I know you'll be fine. Johns Hopkins is the best and I work at a competing hospital!

[Vektor]

86. Best of luck, Andy!

See you soon!
