Gentlemen, thank you all so much. Your prayers have been heard and answered. For the time being, surgery on this thing has been put off. After two days of IV's and spinal injections, I am showing signs of improvement. Will need more injections in a couple of weeks, but that sure beats a knife. Again, thanks you all so much for your concern. It is such a great thing to see the caring that comes from this family of fishermen. May God bless you all
