Surgical Blues

I'm about to have an operation in about two weeks. What more can I say?

(Compiles and runs but not under strict or warnings. So what)

open BODY;
chop;
chop;
chop;
split;
push @body, 'hands in gloves';
pack 'a', 'prosthetic' and unpack 'a', 'bone';
splice @skeleton;
join @blood_vessels;
close or die;

Hi yosefm, Been "under the knife" myself so know the feeling, happy thoughts and best wishes to you from the UK. :) Hope it all goes well. A bit of advice: Take a book with you, a big one, because for the next 24 hours after the Op you'll be up all night staring at the ceiling doing nothin' otherwise... (depending on the anesthetic they use).	[reply]

Thanks for everybody's concern and advice. Makes me happy :) (Actually, been there before, and I already prepared a book by Dostoievski which would otherwise take me about a decade to read...)	[reply]

I wish you all the best. I wonder which title you are taking - I read C & P last year and it was amazing. I have the brothers Karamazov on my wishlist :) Nice poem by the way - I felt kinda giddy reading it :D christo Swindon uk	[reply]

Just a comment for the poem: all three `@` signs can be left out (which gives more warnings of course). Good luck.	[reply] [d/l]
