Important day for the Nelson family
Carole, my ex-wife, is supposed to arrive at this hour at the hospital in Gainesville, GA, for a surgical procedure related to her recently discovered breast cancer. The mass that was discovered a week or so ago will be removed along with some lymph nodes and all that will be sent to pathology for examination. Depending upon what is discovered in that examination, the next steps in the treatment process will unfold. Like a lot of surgeries nowadays, this one will be a "day" procedure, and she won't have to spend a night in the hospital.

If you have a moment today to give a positive thought or to utter a small prayer for a positive outcome to this surgery and what it reveals, I would appreciate your doing so. It will certainly be in my mind throughout the day and in the days to follow.
