Dave will be having surgery sometime in the first or second week of August. We will come back out a few days before for pre-op stuff.  We should know an exact date in a day or so. The surgeon has to coordinate with the urologist who be there for the surgery.   They need  Dave to have a full 5 weeks for the tissues to recover after radiation. Speaking of radiation, it has gone really well.  He has 4 more days.  This time next week we will be home. : )  I can't believe it's almost time.  Our apartment is a mess!!  We have half packed boxes all over the place.  Most of what we have to do will have to be done next Tuesday.  We have a full week planned until we are ready to head home.
