Inevitabilities and not unpleasant incongruities.
Thanks.
This pitstop still makes me feel better. It's still surprising to find my neighbours haven't moved. Nice, that.
Wish I could just put a post up saying the cath was clean and everything is cool - wrap it up like an afterschool special. Unfortunately these situations in real-life get complicated quickly. My father's cath demonstrated no danger to his prior stents, but he has progression of lesions in smaller non-fixable arteries.
So as I said, it's complicated. Too well for bypass surgery, technically too dangerous for fixing with a stent. But with relatively important areas still in jeapordy by these blockages. Medicines it is, but wish I felt better about this.
And now the good news: back to Buffalo this evening to make sure I am crisp for two tough cases tomorrow.
Me sleepy.
Missed WWdN by 30 minutes too. No way I can stay up to take down the 35k (heh).
Oh well. Me sleepy.
Laytah.

OK man so it sounds like the news is not perfect but nowhere near the bad end of things. The medicines work, you don't need me to tell you that. And obviously you'd rather be the guy whose dad is too well for bypass surgery than the guy whose dad isn't that well. But I so know what you mean about not knowing how to face life without him around. Just enjoy your time with your entire family, and maybe work will be a nice distraction for you from all this.
Btw, you played the QQ hand exactly how I would have, and how I would recommend it. I think you give away too much about your hand to just automatically go for the checkraise on the turn. I like to bet it out and see how he reacts. What was the end result of the hand, did you ever tell us that?
Best of luck to everyone brotha, we're all thinking of you.
I think the worst is over. I know I feel better about the whole thing ...
Personally, I'd rather hear "we'll see how things go" instead of "this is bad". Being in "limbo" isn't the greatest of things, but it's a defined limbo, so you and your family at least have some idea of what you're Dad is dealing with.
Keep us updated on how he's doing, okay? We're pulling for him just as hard as you are.
I think you would feel better about all of this if you were a foot doctor, too much knowledge I'm sure is not comforting. Best wishes and I hope all continues to go well, it sounds like good new to me.
Good luck to you and your dad.
Keep hangin' in there, bruthah.
Laytah (it pains me to type that),

Gotta say I agree wholeheartedly...limbo may not be fun, but I see people all the time in worse shape, so I'm definitely thankful.
And as for followup with the queens...he called with kings...gg me! Always wondered how monster stacks are created that early in an MTT...now I know (and knowing is half the battle).
P - serious chuckles...I feel yer pain.
Little late here, but better late than never (nevah?)
As Wolf said, better to hear "we'll see how things go" than "this isn't good". Glad that it isn't super bad with your Dad. And I couldn't find fault with your play of the Hiltons. Just one of those unfortunate instances when you come upon one of the few hands that can beat you. So it goes.
Laytah yourself, bro \m/
Ok, for real this time -- is this blog dead?
