I'm flying to Queen's Medical Center on O'ahu at 6 a.m. tomorrow
(Monday) morning for my RLRP scheduled for 7 a.m. Tuesday. I have not
been sleeping well the past few days and I have had a lot of anxiety,
but I continue to reassure myself that everything will be o.k.

I look forward to rejoining this group upon my return, and possibly
sharing my experiences with the newer members of our *club*.

Thank you, and until we meet again...
Aloha

Best of luck to you Mike.

Soon you'll be talking to a doctor who will chat with you as he
puts a little squirt of something in your IV and the next thing
you'll know you'll wake up and be cancer free.

I am sure, Mike, that your medical advisors have told you that there is
always a chance of problems with any surgery.  But, I have been here for
five years and seen the stories of over 700 people, and not one that I know
of died during surgery.  As a matter of fact, I have to say that the actual
surgery is the easiest part for the patient.  He sleeps right through it.

I will be thinking of you on the 20th and praying for you and your surgeon.
I think it will be about 1 p.m. our time.

Steve is absolutely right Mike.

I know he's asked everyone to report any problems they've had
and not a single person reported dying during surgery :)
