Well, it's Christmas Eve and we are still home as sickness has caused us to delay our trip south at present. We will be leaving tomorrow morning. Also, I will be having another test...a stress test on January 6 before I can have the surgery. This is to make sure that the heart is all right. No doubt about the surgery as being the way to go. After talking with my doctor, he confirmed that this would be the best route. So, we are going full speed ahead. If anyone is in a praying posture out there, I would appreciate the prayers. Check in later to see what's going on.
