Roger,

You are getting some wonderful suggestions here, as always the members support and suggestions can be a great help in making a decision.

I would especially like to comment on August's post. Being in a similar situation as she is in, having had only surgery, this is a topic that is very important to me. August and I have had many discussions about this very topic in our private emails. I particularly like her husband's analogy.

No matter what you decide to do, you have to be comfortable with the decision. You will drive yourself crazy if you're not convinced you are doing the right thing.

Rob, congratulations on how well everything turned out for you. It's great to read success stories like yours.

Jerry
