            John, hope the procedure goes smoothly. And Kat, who will probably have a harder time waiting...we'll be thinking of you as well!

                Thanks Y'all

                I appreciate your well wishes. Dr. says a couple of days in the hospital, and two weeks out of work, but I think three weeks is more realistic. I decided to take off work tomorrow so Kat and I can get in a nice ride and enjoy temps in the low eighties. I don't know how long before, or if I'll be able to ride long distance again, so one last, hopefully my last, uncomfortable ride tomorrow.
                I hope to be home Sunday, or Monday at the latest.
                Kat will keep y'all posted.
                Wish me luck!

                    John,
                    I tried to send some good vibes your way earlier this week and found that I was locked out of the forums. D'oh! Silly e-mail issue.

                    Anyway, all fixed now. Hopefully you will be too! I hope all goes well and you're up and around in no time.

                    Kat... my thoughts are with you as well. Even though you don't go through the physical trauma, the emotional part ain't no piece of cake either.

                    You both Take care,
