    Surgery Tomorrow

    Well guys, I am off to Sydney to stay at a hotel near the hospital as I have to be there at 7:00am.

    I just want to thank you all so very much for your help, guidance, and advice throughout the years. You have eased much anxiety and smoothed the rough road of this journey.

    I will throw up a post as soon as I can.

    To all of you having surgery soon I wish you the best of luck.
