Be careful about consuming sugar before, during, and after you drink. Alcohol itself tends to spike blood sugar, which is one of the causes of a hangover.

jp, what's the good word on that px-2?

spoke to the doc about 20 minutes ago, and joann is doing fine! I should be able to see her shortly...

thanks, mike, and yes, i'll be nursing them both back to health.

thanks, Al. this has been in the works since late august, but i really wish surgery wasn't necessary. and coupled with that, it's been a crazy last few weeks, which started with my mother-in-law having a stroke a few days after thanksgiving and then bugsey's bladder stones last week.

drove my wife, joann, to cedars sinai. got her checked-in and briefly spoke with her doc prior to surgery. right about now, joann should be anesthetized and hopefully the doctor will complete this minimally invasive procedure within the hour. please keep her in your thoughts (and prayers if that's your thing). i greatly appreciate the positive people energy. i am worried and awaiting word from the doc.

just had a kosher salad at the Ray Charles cafeteria at Cedars.

all is going very, very well and as the vet said not one bump in the road, so since monday evening bugsey has been recuperating at home. we thank everyone so much for all the well wishes and kind words -- bugsey is feeling much better. he's been getting a whole lot of r&r plus his appetite hasn't diminished in the slightest.
