My youngest son, Everett, is 27 years young.  Friday he has surgery to 
repair a double hernia.  These types of surgeries aren't normally serious 
and you come home the same day with a pocket full of pain medications to 
recuperate at home, but when I had mine fixed in the early 1990s, you were 
off work for 6 weeks, although I came home the same day of the surgery.  Now 
you go back to work in a couple of three days depending on how quickly you 
heal.  Anyhow, pray for him if you think of him now, or Friday.

Phil.
