Well it's the night before surgery, and I won't have a chance to write in the morning, so I thought I would say a little something now.

I want to thank everyone for all of their continued support. It really helps to have friends and family behind us and praying for me. It truly gives me strength.

I want to especially thank my family- Mom, Dad, Em, Sarah, Grandpa, Aunt Janie, Uncle Ad, Jon, Eric, and Sitka. I would not be here today if it wasn't for your love, support, and, of course, senses of humor. I love all of you tremendously.

I know my Grandma Susie is looking down on me and sending me her love. I miss her every day. Love you Grandma.

Lastly I want to thank my Mom for being here with me this entire time and being dedicated to my recovery. She really set all this up, talked to Doctors and coordinators and the insurance company, and got us plane tickets and hotel reservations. All I had to do was get on the plane in New York. I love you Mom. Thank you.

Surgery is scheduled to start at 7:40 A.M. CT, 8:40 A.M. EST. If you want to know the status, call my Mom on her cell 8608840399, or my cell 8603034591. She will have them both.

I hope to talk to all of you soon, and see you when I get back East.

Love,

Josh
