I suppose I should post this in the Civilization thread, but I don't think many people are in there anymore. 

I would appreciate your prayers as I undergo what my surgeon describes as "complicated" open heart surgery at 7 AM tomorrow, University of Michigan Hospital.  A septal myectomy (removal of some of the thickened and stiff tissue on the wall between the sections of my heart), removal of a sub-aortic membrane, and replacement of my aortic valve.

It will be a very long day for Spartan1 and our daughter, and I expect that they won't do any updating until the weekend.  Please keep them, and me, in your thoughts and prayers.

This is my best shot at having a few more years with normal activity.  I feel that I am in good hands with this surgeon, and with U of M hospital.  I also know that the Lord has me in his loving arms, no matter how it turns out. 

Lynda.  Praying for peace, rest, successful outcome and quick recovery. Ps 138:3

Best wishes Lynda and hope for a smooth recovery.

Proverbs 3: 5-6. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.”

Know that many are praying for you and that as you place yourself in God’s hands, there’s no better place to be. We look forward to seeing you again at Copia!

Lynda,

May the process be as peaceful as an early morning crossing on placid northern waters.  Silent but for drips from your paddle; mirror-like, save the ripples of your wake.

Find comfort in beautiful memories you've earned... and heal!

Best wishes,

Jimbo
