.........to those who sent words of encouragement and prayer on my upcoming
surgery tomorrow via email and to this NG. My surgeon is the best of the
best orthopedic surgeon in this area and I was lucky to hook up with him (my
sister works for the Orthopedics Dept. at the hospital).

I completed my physical and presurgery tests this morning and it is thumbs
up for surgery tomorrow at noon.

Again thanks for the prayers and the many thoughtful words!
