Ernie,
I know this whole heart thing is a bad excuse for not finishing up that mug project we have been working on for 2 years. So when this is completed and you are back to 100% or at least the Ernie 58% standard,lets talk.
good luck and don't worry.
Very common these days Bro,

Gee Whiz, Ernie, you sure do have a lot of friends! This journal has been some good reading. I'll be tuning in tomorrow (today) for news. Think you can get someone to post an update on here? I'm writing like you're going to be reading this right now. What a doofus. I hope you're sleeping. Am I typing too loud? I don't want to wake you. Shhhhh...

I wouldn't worry too much about the beard Ernie, it'll grow back. Unlike the hair on your head. (I'm follically challenged also.)
All the best for tomorrow, although technically it's already today here so right now you are in recovery.
Looking forward to your groggy (see what i did there?) journal entry when you come to.
Cheers

All the best for tomorrow! If only you loaned me a few of your caveman clubs, I'd keep them crossed for you (in a non-denominational way). Will be wishing loads of good caveman thoughts your way, as well as some more contemporary ones!
Look forward to seeing you out and about soon!
Thanks for all!

You will be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow during surgery. The attitude and humor you have shown over the last month has been exemplary. I am looking forward to keeping track of you recovery, and posting encouraging words on your page just like you did with me. You really helped keep my spirits up during my time in the hospital.
I am looking forward to meeting Ernie A.S. I know you will be in much better shape than Ernie B.S., with a lot less hair in the places where you probably still have it!

Ernie, I don't know you will get this before surgery. You were in my thoughts a lot today but I just didn't make it to the website. Overdid yesterday and paying for it today.
We will be praying for you. It's scary no doubt. But we have made it through and so shall you. Good luck and God bless.

Hi Ernie!
It's TOLENTINOOOOO!!
I have been wondering about you for the longest time and suddenly there you were on a message FROM the Animation Guild.
What a way to spend your birthday! It can't get anymore dramatic than that!
I'm rooting for you Ernie, and will be sending good joojoos your way as you lay splayed open on the operating table.
You'll get through this with flying colors! And after you do, we'll do lunch. We have so much to catch up on!
I wish much success on your operation and a happy birthday after that!

Sandy Wummer posted a note for Ernie that says:
your surgeon will keep you comfortable, they have great medicine for pain and coughing. don't hesitate to ask for medication, the more comfortable you are the better you deep breathe and the less likely you will get lung congestion. the one annoyance i had after both of my surgeries was extreme thirst. Don't chug water or soda, it will make you swell (learned from experience). go for ice chips and let them sit in your mouth. have your mom keep a few throat lozenges in her purse in case you get the sore throat from the endo tube... that is common but easily dealt with. best to you Ernie, try to trust the process, you are in good hands.

Renee Radocaj posted a note for Ernie that says:
Hey hey!! Can you stand one more well wish from me? I'll be pulling for you and know you are going to do great. One thought on all the sleeping you are doing - this is as much a mental challenge as it is physical. That could definitely be why you are so tired. And you got the bonus "two weeks of stress" since your surgery was postponed. I hope your Mom does sleep over. You will NEED an advocate for you when/if they screw up your pain meds!! Not to mention its nice having someone there if you need anything at all. You can call the nurse but sometimes that takes a while. You are very lucky your mom is there to help!!! Take care and see you on the other side! (Not sure why they say that because it sounds morbid but it seems to be the common lingo on this site!) (Wink)

Give em hell tomorrow. You have done a great deal to prepare for this. You're ready. And, you have been a wonderful friend to everyone in the HVJ community. A
As you prep tonight and tomorrow morning know we all are thinking of you and trusting in the very best outcome for you. We are your support team.
As for Mom staying in your room, it is simple to understand. She is just keeping you in line with all of the nurses around. You see, my friend, Mom has also been reading your journal!
All the best, Ernie.

Hi Ernie,
I've read your journal for a while but don't think I've posted, it only seems right hat I should post now that your big day is tomorrow! It's great to read your journal & it makes me smile when I'm being morose and silly about my surgery
You sound like might have a bit more anticipation now it's closer but you can be confident your doctors will do right by you.
I'll look forward to reading your journal after surgery - I'm sure plenty others will too :)
