Vickie, thanks for the update. Will try to call later. If not today, tomorrow.
I hope the neighbors will help with picking up dinner.

Actually, we just spoke with the surgeon, me on the phone of course. And,
actually, the information I was given yesterday, is just the opposite. His
left side is only plugged 65 percent. But since he is seeing symptoms, with
the right arm going numb, they want to clear out the left side first. Then in
a few weeks, have him come back and do the right side, which is 95 percent
plugged. So, since he ate breakfast already, it will be tomorrow for surgery,
with him coming home on Saturday, if everything goes OK. I’m working with
neighbors for my dinner meal today, since I’d really like to treat myself to a
night out. Well, it will be bring home, but at least maybe I can get away for
a few minutes to order the food. That was a side note about the food.

Vickie,
I imagine right about now he's in the middle of the operation since its about
10:00 there. Hope things are going well and we're thinking about both of you.

Asking for support and prayers. Duane is in the hospital. His right arm went
numb, yesterday about 1:45PM. I made him call the veterans hospital and speak
to a triage nurse. They told him of course, to call 911 and told us how to make
sure the VA pays for it this time. So, we called 911 and they took him to the
hospital which is not the VA, in Prescott. Of course, I couldn’t go along due
to the virus. So he waited 5 hours in the lobby after registering, and they
finally did a cat scan of his head about 9:20PM. So, then today, they did an
echo and an ultrasound of his neck. That’s the problem right there. The left
artery in his neck is 95-99% blocked. They will be doing another cat scan
tonight at the same time as last night, with contrast, so they can see the
blockage and other things better. His arm is still numb. So it’s still going
on. The nurse called me and described it as a TIA. So, it’s time to ask for
prayer for him, and for me, since I can’t be with him.

May God bless you now, and evermore!
