Surgery successful.  
A brief post to say my surgery was a success. I'm out of the hospital after seven days. They really did a great job. I still feel like I got stabbed in the gut, but that's to be expected. Okay, back to opiate induced sleep. I feel stronger after each rest. I have a wonderful nurse. Every leaf looks greener and I'm happy to be alive and around.

All solidarity with the protesters in Iran.

Check out this 18 minute TED talk on the past present and future of surgery. It shows the robot they used in my surgery:

"Catherine Mohr: Surgery, Past, Present, and Robotic Future."
