Packer, I really admire your strength it really makes me think that there is always someone out there that has it a little harder than you do. I guess that keeps me going as a caregiver to my husband Dan, I hope your surgery goes well and think you are a very brave person. I know your family on this site will be behind you all the way. I also know you must have a very caring family standing with you through all of this. I will be praying for you please keep all of updated on your progress when you can.
