Dec. 17: Buzz went to surgeon today to have the remainder of staples removed from hernia repair site. Another 3 oz. fluid drawn. Follow up on Friday.

Jaw is still painful, but the swelling appears to improve ever so slightly. Weight still at 160 lbs., now drinking Carnation VHC in addition to Boost and three healthy meals daily.

Tomorrow is Buzz' 77th birthday! We are SO thankful for every day we've been blessed with these past seven months!

To all of our forum family: Hang in there! and continue to remember us in your prayers...
