Surgery date set, July 17th.

Thank You.   As I mentioned above in a reply, I never knew so many people have had to travel so far. I'm sure that I will be joining your comments that it was well worth it.  The one I feel the sorriest about is my wife.  We have a company so she can't stay away that long.  I'm sure she will leave after I get back from the surgery and recovery then come back 4 days later to pick me up.   It's an 8-9 hour round trip from our home.   Thanks again for your support.
