Color my wife and my Thoracic surgeon unimpressed. After I got out of cardiac ICU and into a room the next day, the surgeon came in to explain what all he had re-routed. When he got done he asked if I had any questions. I told him I had tickets in 2 weeks for MNF against the Steelers, can I go? His response, "Really, that's your question?" He said I had to have someone take me to and from in a wheelchair (friends from college, check), I had to ride in the back seat so if we were in an accident the air bag wouldn't kill me (check), and that the next day I would probably feel so bad I wish I hadn't gone (Feel bad, check, wish I hadn't gone- not on your life) Wife was pissed. I mean, c'mon, it's MNF against the Steelers and I'm gonna miss it? Pulled out the win that night too.
