I have not written for a few days regarding Georges staus. So here it is! He has finished the third round of antibiotics,we're hoping the staph infection is finally gone. He had his arteriogram yesterday. There is indeed 95-99% blockage in his left carotid artery. He is schedualed for surgery on Tues 31st. Yeh on Halloween. Prognosis is good. We are ,of course, just a wee bit concerned. George says " they will either fix me or they won''t " Now all we have to do is get thru the next 3 days with out too much stress.The hardest part for him is the fact that he is so weak. Over the last mo he has not been able to get in his excercise because of the cellulitis in his leg. He's had to keep it elevated most of the time. So my dear friends please include us in your prayers.Hoping that my geat guy can get through this with great success and begin to feel better. I know that all of you know what it is like to watch and only want to make it all better. Hugs and prayers for all of us. We all need lots of same. Juanita CG for George 74/71/64
