Update On Lynn
I met with my cardiologist on Friday. Everything went well. He mentioned that my heart sounds good. To make sure, I will be having a series of cardiac tests on the 30th. I expect that all results will be positive for me.
For a week now, I have been going to the hospital to have two shots injected into my abdomen. I will return there again tonight. Early tomorrow morning, we will be going out of town for more tests. We should return tomorrow.
As of this morning, I have not yet learned when or where my surgery will be scheduled. As I mentioned earlier, we hope to have it done before the end of this month.

Ice Storm
I am receiving reports about the possibility of an ice storm headed to Northwest Kansas. The last that I knew, it looks like no counties east of Greeley County are in that area. I recommend that we keep an eye on the situation just in case.
