Hi, Bob had his surgery on Monday and it took almost six hours. The Dr is very well pleased how everything went and he said, Bob was a real trooper through all of it. It sure has been an experience. The piece they put on his head had four clamps and they numb the area these clamps will be holding and they go all the way through the skin but not the skull. He looked like he had just landed from outer space. He has not had any pain or tremor and it isn't even hooked up yet. The Dr. said, by the Grace of God he really is pretty sure they hit the right spot for both places. He will have everything hooked up this coming Monday. I have been staying in Morgantown but needed to come home this evening to get some things done. They thought about letting him come home today but would you know it he tried to get up twice last night and fell so they are going to have to give him some therapy. And too they had not even had him out of bed or walked him so of course he would be weak. They did walk him down the hall and had him up in the chair today. Thanks for all of your prayers and concerns. Ruby [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
