Hi Jim. Hang in there buddie. Many thoughts are with you. Please keep us posted. Where are you from in Ohio ? I'm from New Castle Pa which is 20 miles from youngstown. I see that you will have your surgery done in Pgh. That's where my husband Jim had his surgery. We are all here supporting you. What would we do without our friends here on the board. You are strong and you'll beat this, too !
