[Craig M]

Please wish Mr. Overall the best and keep him in your prayers as he will be going into sergury tonight!

He will be out in the morning before you head to work so please check back. The sergury may be complicated as he has something attached to his back. He has been carrying this as extra weight for all of these years. In consulting with other physicians, we feel that the best decision is to remove the additional weight. We all are confident that he will appreciate the improvement even though he will not be able to speak.

Please keep in mind that no other physicians will be allowed in the operating room as I do not want to be embarassed; as this will be my first sergury.

See you all in the morning....Craig
