   Due to several recent factors, we have decided to hold off on the operation   
   for at least another month or two.  There is value added to waiting for this   
   particular surgery.  It is going to take a good bit of work on our part, but   
   there are potential positives for holding off.   
      
   So, I'm not sure when we will have this done - but I would imagine no later   
   than the spring time.
