All, I just spoke with Susan and received the following: Jacques was sent home last night, he will be requiring surgery but he is not seeing the actual surgeon that will perform the operation until tomorrow (Wednesday) morning. He is somewhat comfortable and has meds that will allow him to rest comfortably. They do not know yet where or when the surgery will be performed. He is up and around but only with crutches!! I will get back to all of you tomorrow as Susan will call me after they see the surgeon. Jeff

Thanks for the update. Hope he does well. Surgery after a certain age is always tough. Hope he pulls through okay.
Best wishes for him and keep us posted.
