It is late and I am exhausted but just had to let everyone know that the surgery went well and Rick is resting comfortably in his room.  He slept most of the evening and with the use of an epidural he is pain free at this time.

I know the website is experiencing a lot of traffic at this time and I apologize for the overload...I guess I am too cheap to pay for a website so we use the free ones..  Please be patient and check back often.  I will update late each night.
