panic. Its not that bad!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff><SPAN class=300374416-25062004>I have some good news
and some bad news. The bad news is that my gall bladder needs to go bye-bye. The
good news is that's all that it is and the surgeon, hopefully, can do it
lapriscopically and I can go home the same day, so I won't be stuck in the
hospital. I'm getting that done Monday morning at Baylor Hospital and should be
home Monday night. So I'll be out of armor for a couple of weeks and then I
should feel a lot better. Needless to say, I won't be at Moot
Monday.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
