Well folk, thanks for your prayers.  They worked!!!  I was released this afternoon and my son Daniel drove me home.  I do not yet know if chemo is in the cards but my surgeon seemed quite pleased with the result, so far.  They have taken 4 X-ray's post surgery and they are cautiously optimistic at this time.  I'm supposed to get a detailed "way forward" tomorrow.  In the meanwhile it's nap time.
