JIM BUTTON,
TELLING TALES.

Surgery tomorrow

So nice. So heartwarming. So amazing. Got lots of nice last minute notes of warmth and encouragement for the ERCP tomorrow morning.

More than most surgeries I am putting pressure on this one. I want to move forward and end this pain limbo. I am going into this one with great hope even though I know there are lots of things that can happen during and after tomorrow morning. I am under no illusions but I am certainly leaning towards a positive outcome.

My buddy Doug sent me a note of encouragement based on the James Bond movie he saw tonight. He pulled the Jack London quote that was used in the film:

 "The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.”

Looking forward to coming out of a groggy state tomorrow to hear good news.
