I had my first stomach surgery on October 10, 1997. They took 2/3 of my stomach and it was pretty bad. In September 1998 I had this test done to see how the rest of my stomach was working. It wasn't. The first week of October my surgeon called me into his office and said, "I have some bad news. The rest of your stomach has to come out and we have to do it right away. Rick, This is going to be a lot more dangerous than the first one and your recovery is going to take a lot longer."

I said, "When do we do it?"

"October 17. This is a risky thing. You have to know the risks."

I just smiled and said "Lets do it."

he said, "No questions? Nothing?"

I said, "October 17. Evel Knievel's birthday. what can go wrong?"

"You're nuts."
