Neal -

best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a swift recovery.  Put yourself in the hands of your very competent doctor(s) and you'll be fine.  The best advice I can give you post op is to just take things as they come.  You really don't know what you'll encounter, but try to keep a positive attitude.  You'll also find that patience helps a lot.

You'll be in my prayers on Tuesday.  Is someone going to let us know how you do?

I thank you all for your kind thoughts and words.  I just finished my last pre-surgery workout and look forward to (slowly) resuming my routine (I row on a Concept 2 rowing machine 30 minutes a day) as soon as possible.  I am keeping busy but will check in again tomorrow evening.

Thanks again,

Neal

I think another person is also having surgery tomorrow. You are on the prayer list for your surgery and recovery. Remember to stay strong and all the stress will soon be done. Please keep us informed. Prayers from Florida....
