Hi John,
There are 100's of us out here rooting and praying for you through your upcoming sugery. Based on what you described is involved with your operation, you'll have to change your name to "bionic super dragonslayer." In any case, best of luck, enjoy your out of body experience. I am sure when you get back, you will be able to fly again.
