Replying to Heart surgery

so i found out a few weeks ago that i have a serious heart problem and that i need to get surgery to fix it.
the only thing is..... im getting the heart surgery in the beginning of January. because i will be in college nowhere near any snow either, i will have 1 week to ski this season. i was supposed to go to Jackson HOle with my dad for 2 weeks in january, but instead ill be in a hospital bed recovering from my chest being cut open. luckily however, my dad is letting me raincheck that trip and hell pay for a spring break for me in march since i am unable to ski basiclly at all.. ughh this fuciking sucks. there goes my winter. cant wait till winter 07-08 .
