It sounds like maybe some of the initial shock is wearing off and he's leaning towards the surgery!!! Yeah! (reading between the lines here but that cue about going back to work kinda heads that way so hopefully he will. Take care - and too bad you cant make him unconscious for a month or two - that way he'd get past cigarette withdrawal - and the drinking!!! Good luck!
