Luckily though, I found a solution.

I flew into Mississippi last weekend.  Surgery on Tuesday.  Flew back today (Sunday).
They cut 4 small holes in me.  Dr. Mason, my doctor&#8230; he worked me in as his 4th gall bladder removal of the day!

		<description><![CDATA[I have been introduced to an evangelist named Louie Giglio recently (thanks to my stepsister).
