4R8, That's great to hear - congratulations to you and your "better half" on your new son!
Thanks for thoughts guys. I had intentions of getting to the shop and actually doing something but it never came to be. It's killing me to not be able to do anything though and I am quickly going stir crazy. I now have a pre-op physical set for Monday afternoon and barring any unexpected findings (I am actually in pretty good health, physically anyway.
), have surgery scheduled for either Tuesday or Wednesday. I don't keep real good track of time but I'm confident the wife will let me know when it is.
The prospect of being in a hospital for a couple of days bothers me almost as much as the pain I'm currently dealing with though. Can't say that I'm looking forward to it.
Thanks again guys,
-Ron
