I'm sorry to hear about your impending surgery and that it got postponed. That's like the anti finding out two months in advance that you're going to disney land.

My man had a bypass (his second) this summer and though he's not a reader, he didn't spend much time in front of the t.v. either.

Hopefully your recovery is swift in the hospital that you won't have too much time to use your new dvd player (nice bargain though!)
