Surgery Tomorrow

Written by: Lord Aenigma Mykael Artan, Father of Darkness
Date: Monday, March 10th, 2008
Addressed to: Everyone


For those of you who this may concern,

Like I noted in December about my medical issues with my Cancer history
and recent staph infection, I have a surgery tomorrow that's going to
essentially declare whether or not the medical operations I took in
December were successful or not.

To explain it in fuller detail of what will be happening tomorrow:
-I'm going to go through the standard procedure to put me under for
operations.
-They going to cut my left leg open around the femur area and collect a
tissue sample.
-That tissue sample is going to be frozen for a cross-section,
pathologist will analyze it and determine whether or not there's any
evidence of staph infection remaining.
-If there is, then I get to start over like they did in December.
They'll remove the current antibiotic spacer in my leg and exchange it
for a new one, and hook my main heart arteries up to some massive IV
long so I can be on another 6 weeks of antibiotics. This option would
also leave me immobile for 3 months at minimum.
-Assuming everything goes well, as most people are hoping and expecting,
there wont be any evidence of staph infection in the tissue sample, and
they'll begin operation.
-Once the real operation begins, they'll remove the spacer and
reconstruct my entire femur out of titanium up to the ball and socket.
I'll have some plastic worked in with a partial knee, as well as around
my hip to make sure everything is as mobile (normal) as possible.

From that point on, I should be good to go to deal with the other legal
nonsense and stress I have ahead of me. Regardless, because of this
surgery tomorrow, I may be in the hospital for 2-7 days. I'm not sure, I
imagine I'll be out by Friday at the latest. I cannot guarantee internet
access, but I'll do my best to be here or keep in touch with what's
going on, for those of you within my organizations.

Until I get home to pull all-nighters, you guys take care and I'll see
you all again soon.
