Good luck, Carolyn. My mother who is 77 just had it last Friday.The operation took longer (4 hours) because they said she has bigger bones than they expected ( don't they take x-rays??). So it was painful the first couple days. But now she's complaining about how hard they are working her in rehab, so she must be healing well

So far, only 2 varieties have not yet germinated: Kelloggs Breakfast and Yasenichi Yabechur (sp?).
Prue, Boxcar Willie, Cosmonaut Volkov, Moskvich, and Polish were the laggards, and the first just germinated the past 2 days.
