    Hi all, please wish me luck!!! As soon as it's light out my wife Tee and I have to head out for the Asheville NC VA Hospital for scheduled heart surgery.... this will be my sixth... geesh!
    The weather sure isn't cooperating either. Not as much snow as expected but even worse... ICE! The news is reporting tons of accidents already and asking everyone to STAY HOME, if possible!
    Yeah, and of all times we have to head TOWARDS the mountains

    So, if all goes well I should be back home later this week and will check in!

    Thanks folks, Jim

    God be with you Jim.

    I have a stress test in a month.

    Thank you all so very much for your kind thoughts and prayers. IT MUSTA WORKED!!! My wife Tee got me back home last night at 7:30 and other than my wrist being sore, I feel GREAT! I dreaded the trip not only for the surgery but road conditions. Tuesday morning we had ICE until we got to the main roads and they had been salted so it was actually clear sailing! We had more snow than they did in the mountains! So, it went A-OK and I'm back home trying to do a little posting. Thought I share a couple of pictures...
