I'll be off for some surgery tomorrow at 8:30 AM. I have an adenocarcinoma at the lower end of my esophagus. We've caught it in the early stages and expect to fix it by cutting off the bad section and reattaching my stomach back to the end. All the tests showed no sign of the cancer anywhere else, so we have high hopes of a complete cure. I'll miss you all but hope to be home in about a week. Thanks for all the good entertainment.
