Holy Smokes, first let me say that I am happy that everything work out with the surgery .. thats a scary thing.
As far as invitations for me, as stupid as it sounds, things like Facebook and Myspace are serious time savers. Its seems like most people, at least once and a while, use these programs. Sending invites to a list is really the most convenient way to do it. Not to mention the addition of a Message/comment board on the event site allows you to correspond rather quickly with a guest who has questions.
It never hurt to pick up a phone either and give someone a call for a bit of a personal invite. I know many people love giving and receiving invitations and there is no reason not to do that. Maybe doing a combination of the three will give you the best over all idea of attendees.
Also, nothing for nothing, the sight of YOUR brain x-ray on your invitation might make people a little uncomfortable .. maybe I would just put something halloweenie on it instead.
