Chi Hsing-tzu was raising a fighting cock for his lord. After ten days, the lord asked, "Is he ready?" Chi answered, "No, sir, he is still vain and flushed with rage." Ten days passed, and the prince asked about the cock. Chi said, "Not yet, sir. He is on the alert whenever he hears another cock crowing." When the prince's inquiry came again, Chi replied, "Not quite yet, sir. His sense of fighting is still smoldering within him." When another ten days elapsed, Chi said to the lord: "He is almost ready. Even when he hears another crowing, he shows no excitement. He now resembles one made of wood. His qualities are integrated. No cocks are his matchthey will at once run away from him."

Well, keep my updated on prognosis. I'm glad you're doing fine otherwise, though.
Then it dawned on me.
Isn't today your post-operative appointment? If I'm not crazy, let me know how everything goes... what the doctor says.
Good luck (like that'll do anything... but still.)
