"Look at me! I'm Florence Freakin' Nightingale!"

Boy, when they say OPEN HEART, they're not kidding. Don't worry - they say the swelling will go down.

The anesthesia has worn off but the expression is left over from the fact that Scotty and Andrea went to see the Cheech and Chong show at the Majestic Theater last Saturday night.

Scotty is obviously feeling better.

Cute doctor!

Just spoke to the Doctor

Dr Ryan (who, frankly, looks like he might me related to Nolan Ryan) just came by and said Scotty did great. He had a big old chunk of muscle meat pushing up against his heart valve and it was very easy to get out. In about 30 minutes he'll be starting to wake up but he is breathing and pumping on his own. As a preventive measure, they have a temporary pacemaker in there just to be safe. It's a rental (you know how Scotty likes to get his miles). Anyhow, the doc says Scotty will be playing softball this summer. However, the violin....

Scotty's Out of Surgery.... EARLY!!!!

Scotty's out of surgery early! All initial reports are great! The doctors will be out to speak to us any minute and then we'll be able to start going back to see him. The hospital is brand new and feels like we're hanging at the Hyatt. However, bad news - waiting room coffee sucks.

Glenn's Cell # 410.303.5632

Well, were off to see the wizard!

Thanks for all the calls and e-mails. We have to be at the hospital at the crazy hour of 5:30am.
The hospital address is 1100 Alliance Plano.
