A lot of the Hospitals have tvs with video inputs, make sure to bring your gaming systems with you, a dvd player and a lot of movies, and a laptop if you got one to stay connected for they should have wiFi. If you dont do this your gonna have aone hell of a boring time in recovery for how ever long they keep you, hospital tv FTL.

And GL and I hope out get out as soon as you can for if your anything like me, 12 hours after the meds start to wear off you itching to get the hell out of the bed and go somewhere. The games and movies will help for about a day, after that your gonna be going nuts, hopefully you can pass the time neffing on ATOT with a laptop :)

And if not you can always mess with the nurses, thats alot of fun when they have you hooked up to the machines, make it flat line for a little bit, or if they have you on one that you have to stay within radio range go to the food court and come back :):) What they gonna do, kick you out? :p

you should get them to videotape the surgery or something, would be insane to watch them take part of your jaw and teeths out at a later time. :Q

Hmmm do you know how much a typical cost to treat a cancer patient?

Its definitely expensive. I am sure I am close to costing my insurance over $500,000...probably close to a million over the past year of treatment.
