Ron is a very lucky man!!!! I hope he realizes how fortunate he is to have caught this so early.

Glad to hear Ron is feeling better. I felt so bad when I read your post about the shingles from being so worried. Just the word recurrence is enough to frazzle the best of us. I never would dare to even take a peek at the recurrence topic out of fear I would be more susceptible to getting sick again. The antibiotics are a good thing! It should help to ward off picking up anything while he is in the hospital.

Im amazed at Ron's lack of gray hair. I have tons that I hide. Ive had grays since I was in my early 30s. Darn kids, LOL!!!!

Best wishes with the surgery next Tuesday. I will say a prayer that it will be a simple procedure with a fast recovery.
