Subject: surgery tomorrow


The doctor thinks he will close up Ben's foottomorrow, there is some skin
which is not responding, and he will cut that away, he may have to take some
bone out in order to have enough skin to close the wound.  He has taken two
thirds of the great or big toe.
So, we will have to wait and see how it goes.  The doctor says if all goes
well, Ben  should be able to return to his job in October.
His blood pressure is still high, they are giving him medication, maybe it's
the location he is in, not much peace at a hospital!!! and certainly not
much rest either.
We appreciate your prayers.

Rhonda
