Okay, on to the next step. I'm feeling some relief now that we have a plan of action. Tom's surgery will be on October 27th at St. Mary's. There was a bit of a wait in the doctor's office this morning. I told Tom he must be feeling better because he was grumpy about waiting!!

We both like the surgeon and we think he's the best man for the job! He answered almost all of our questions before we asked them. It is definitely a long involved surgery. We expect Tom to be in the hospital about a week if there are no surprises or complications.

Now on to Coos Bay so we can eat our fill of crab and other fresh seafood and visit with friends. We've been watching the weather and the first couple of days may get rain but it should improve after that. Tom's rarin' to go. If the trailer were packed he'd be hooked up and on the road already.

Until the next time,
Jan
