an unexpected medical problem.

The date has been set for August 12th. That's a little earlier than expected but I can work with it.

We're one week into the fundraiser with 15% raised so far. Please tell your friends about this, blog it, post it on Twitter.

Without going into any more detail than necessary, I have some cysts that have been causing me excruciating pain, discomfort, and mental anguish for quite some time now. To everyone that has contributed so far, it is greatly appreciated and you have my thanks.

So something is broke and the doctors need to fix it yesterday. Insurance? That would be nice. If it could wait until next year when I'm out of school I'd just tough it out, but the current opinion is nip it now before it has a chance to get worse.
