I want to say thank you for the all the support and uplifting notes from the group here. I have not been online the last few days. Been showing my family around town to get them use to area here in Seattle.

Just in 8 hours I will in surgery at the University of Washington Medical center. I will make and get by, I have a goal to be up and running around soon. The Tulip festival in the area is in 3 weeks and I want to go. I am going to do it and bounce back.

Again thank you to everyone here. If you want any updates please email to my parents email jkbacluff@msn.com and they give you all update.

Thank you

Barry

You have the same attitude that gets me thru and smiling. I want to wish you well for your surgery and the days after. Make your Drs smile and they seem to like a person better . I never complained to mine and still don't , which they really like. Try to practice swallowing as soon as you wake up after the surgery. It hurts but is well worth the effort. It kept me from getting a feeding tube and I also talked as best I could. Will have you in my prayers and th9ughts today.
