Thanks to everyone for your support this last week. 3 days to surgery and I'm getting a bit anxious. I'm keeping busy. I have last minute packing to do today as we are leaving Monday morning for the city. Decided to go a day early to see the grandkids as I probably won't get to see them for Christmas this year. Haven't decided if I will give them thier Christmas presents now or just leave them under the tree. Tuesday will be a busy day before the surgery. REg has to have some pre-op tests. Hopefully that will all go well so there will no delays. We have waited long enough. Besides the pain is really getting bad now. Obviously that tumoor is pressing on a nerve. Will post daily once he is the hospital.

Again, thanks to all.
