What the heck is wrong with Scotty?
As you may know, I have recently been diagnosed with Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This is a genetic heart disorder (thanks Mom & Dad, you know cash would have been better) I will be going in for Surgery on Nov 6. I will be having a Septal myectomy. (sounds like a bad Henny Youngman joke, take Myectomy..please). The Surgery should only take a few hours but since it is open heart surgery I will be in the hosptial for about a week. (looking forward to those sponge baths). Long term prognosis is very good.

Some people will do ANYTHING to get out of lifting chairs during the hora. (Sponge bath, huh? You know, I am feeling a little dizzy...)
I guess Glenn and I are the last of the family "Hagbah-nators".
we're all in this together! thankfully this was caught early and you'll have this behind you in no time!! there are other ways to draw attention to yourself...next time, please don't go to such extremes!!
we love you!!

Dear Scott,
I was shocked to get the news of your surgery and illness this week.
You look great and am so glad you are doing well. If I can babysit, or do anything to be helpful, please let me know.
My thoughts and prayer are with you.
