So, my dad had surgery today, and as a result, his colon is now 6" shorter. I've kindof been in a bad mood because work has been giving me the "big beat down", and this impending surgery hasn't been making me feel any better.
But, the good news is everything appears to have gone well. He had the less invasive form of the surgery, so that means his recovery time should be in the 2~3 week time frame. By that time, hopefully his work will have bought a new PowerBook for him (and then we can use iChat AV!).
I suppose that I have this whole thing to look forward to when I am my dad's age. Hopefully, by then, they'll have little ingestible nanobots that can go into my colon and munch all of the polyps right up. That would be sweet.

Ryan (aka gorclon for the Warcraft B.Netters out there) and I regularly use MSN voice chat when we play online. It is fantabulous. We tried Y! voice as well, one those days when MSN was getting terribly confused because of firewalls, and it sucked arse. I'd be interested to know how good the ichat experience is.
I think I've begun to use the "experience" word a lot more now that I'm working where I'm working. Hrm.
Good thing the surgery turned out well. I hope he recovers soon.
Yeah, it would be nice if nanobots could be tossing your salad by the time you're all old but like C3PO style AI, I think those are more like 1,000 years off rather than 30. I honestly think that if they're developed at all, they'll look at them and say "hey, we just invented a virus". Nature came up with nanobots a while ago and they are virii, prions and cells.
Hmmm,
So Ibrahim, I need more details concerning diagnosis, prognosis, exact surgical details etc.....
