    I now thank each and every one of you who offered up prayer on my behalf.  Thank you!
    First the good news:  The surgery is done.  I am  home.  That is about it for the "good" news.  Now the not good news: The ureter was totally grown together (shut) so he bored his way with a wire knife and a laser to get it open.  Before going into the OR the doc...

    Ok!  The 2nd interview went great!  One of the managers walked me to the elevator and told me she thought I was a great fit for the job.  It's probably more high stress, but I'd actually be working in the field that my degree is in (Information Technology) and it will be $4K to $7K more a year than I make now.  AND I won't have to pay for parking.  That's ...
