SR XVII: The Asylum

It's a good album, no doubt, but it's not the best.

I can't really say I have a favorite, something ZARtastic no doubt, maybe KA.

Sweet. Yay!

But the bio on PA is still wrong. MMA has the right members though.

I've become a ZARE guy myself. (Zeuhl/Avant/Rio/Eclectic)

You don't mean this do you?

Oh, okay. Still awesome.

I haven't actually. Thanks for reminding me Jon.

The surgery was successful. My grandpa had 100% blockage in both aorta on the right side of his heart (the part of the heart that redistributes blood and oxygen to every part of the body except the lungs). But lots of small veins had formed a branch of some kind. I'm not really sure how to explain it, but basically the left side of his heart adapted and compensated for dealing with that loss. And had that not happened, he would have dropped dead, so he was incredibly lucky.

They said he was going to be sedated for about 2-3 days, but they were able to remove the breathing tubes today and woke him up. He's fairly weak, but he's alert, conscious, and was talking with us. And most importantly, he had his sense of humor still with him. So basically, he got really lucky and is on his way to a full if slow recovery.

That's great news David.

Ouch.  Hope he turns out well.

Change First Utterance to Colors and it's just as accurate for me.
