Hi, Mark!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

          Okay.  Thanks for the update....  :-)

          Sounds as if it was your choice to wait, rather than a case of
making room in line for those with more urgent needs.  Not knowing when
something like a surgical procedure is going to happen can be very stressful. 
Knowing you can put it off until the timing works for you also has its
advantages, though.  :-)

          And no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should....  ;-)
