Thanks for the encouragement. I'm passing everyone's comments along to
Crash. He keeps running into knuckleheads who tell them that the surgery
is the worst thing that could ever happen to a human being. He's getting
scared. The positive experiences are helping him feel a little more secure
about it.

This is a blanket thank you to the several people who have made comments
about the surgery. I'm trying to cut back on the amount I post.
