Geez, Mookie, good luck.

Jesus H Christ way to bury the lede! :-(

Be okay, my friend. Full recovery and back to your amber waves of, um, grain before long.

Yeah holy **** mook

get well and take care of yourself!

All the Drs make this sound quite common. Mookie didn’t know that I’m the medical term for this is “cabbage” for example. They would talk amongst themselves saying stuff like “he needs cabbage” or “he is going to get cabbage” :-0
surgeon confided risk rates are 1-4%, whatever that means… not like mookie has ever hit powerball.
only drawback is since it’s being done here, Mookie’s heirs won’t be able to sue the hospital for $$$,$$$,$$$ if anything goes wrong.
do love that the operation will be done at Chest Diseases Hospital:-)

Sorry I didn't pick up on what you meant when said bypass. Good luck my man and keep us posted. Did you schedule this at a US accredited resort/hospital in Thailand?

[Swansong]

Sorry man! It's an acronym - CABG - "coronary artery bypass graft". Be prepared for some substantial discomfort after, and rest rest rest rest!

[SonofSouthie]

Good luck and always remember, it sucks to BU.

Mookie don’t have government insurance in the land of smiles ;-)

I’ll mostly be working the entire time I’m there, I’m going as a futsal referee for the Arctic Winter Games and the schedule is packed, so I doubt I’ll have much time for sightseeing.

I did put in to attend the opening ceremony but it is a) outside and b) the temperature looks to be well below zero Fahrenheit so I may pass.

Good news is I’m flying charter so no long itinerary. I also may have tipped off an Alberta based YouTube plane spotter that a rare Alaska Airlines 737 will be making an appearance (and an Air Greenland A330).

For those curious as to what the Arctic Winter Games are, the CBC has a nice video explaining things a bit. This will actually be my first time at an Arctic Winter Games participating in some fashion though I've attended two others in Alaska.

Hey, how did you end up working out that issue where they wanted you to present to a police station in Canada 14 hours away?

Someone finally realized how stupid that was and allowed us Alaskans to go to our State Troopers.

I think I got the most Canadian welcome when I arrived last night: A bag of Timbits.

I tried all dressed chips today. They’re ok but I don’t understand the hype.
