F.Y.I. for those to whom it may concern, I have to postpone my visit for a day because Craig`s wife said he is in alot of pain and wouldn`t be very good company. He said he wanted to see me and hated to tell me no but he is looking forward to a visit tomorrow and he thinks he`ll be feeling better by then. If not, there is always Monday. But I will get in to see him.

    sorry to hear about the pain
    but at least he's in there where they can give him IV painkillers. Did she say any more about the surgery itself?
    Thanks for all you're doing for him and for us-

    I Hope....
    They control his pain well, I hate hearing someone is suffering, I'll be looking forward to when you can see him, can't rush his recovery, but it will just take time for him to heal, I'd probably wait on even visiting till he is truly feeling better, which may even take a couple of weeks.

    Hugsss!

    I haven`t heard any details about the surgery yet.
    I`ll have to find that out later.

    Pain?
    I thought di vinci was supposed to diminish the pain. Oh well, I guess if we've been where he's been, a little pain goes along way. Wait, I have been where he's been! I don't think I'm good company anymore, even without being post-op. Give him as much time as he needs I reckon. We can bust his chops for being cancer free later.

    Awwww
    So sorry he isn't feeling well but he did just go through a huge ordeal so I can understand the pain and wanting his rest. I remember my dad came in from out of town to see me and I just couldn't bring myself to be very good company. I hope that he feels up to your visit tomorrow. Thinking of him.

    Eric,
    ou are a godsend, thanks for putting in the time to let us know what's up with Craig. I know he will pull through it, we just need to be patient. I'm sure his wife will let us know when he's feeling up to a visit.

    p.s. out of town visiting my mom so computer time is hard to come by.
