My son has a date; yep, he is due to have the surgery the 28th of this month.  He is going for his preop appoinment on Tuesday.  He called me and said, "I have something I need to tell you."  I'm thinking the worst and of course when he said it, I was elated because he is only 29 years old and while he is 6'4" tall, he weighs over 400 pounds and has been CHF twice.  His knees are terrible and every year, he becomes a little less active.  Now, though, he will get his real life back.  Isn't this great news?

He is the new surgeon they brought to NWA from Tulsa.  I know his name but forgot it.

Jeannie, I know you must be so relieved and happy that your son is finally able to have his surgery.  Where will it be? What a great way to start the new year out...with a new chance at life. Take care my friend. Are you still sticking with your "slow down" plan??  Did you see that Jodi O is back?? High fives to your guy
