Early this morning, Sarah will be going to the hospital where I was born in San Jose to find some kind of relief under a surgeon's knife. Read this post if you don't know why.

The first light of dawn will find us at the hospital. Not a good way to start the day unless you work there.

The performing doctor tells us that the procedure of removing disks from the spine is a fairly common one - but then, he's a neurosurgeon.

Happy thoughts and well wishes are appreciated.
