Federation Family:

Next Tuesday Joe will undergo an out patient procedure at Allegheny General
Hospital. The purpose is to deposit some glysseran-based medication at the
point where the fifth cranial nerve enters the scull. 
The objective is to insulate the nerve from the neighboring blood vessel
which is responsible for his Transgeminal Neuralgia.

Although it isn't something to be taken litely, the procedure has a very low
risk factor. There is no general anesthesia, rather Joe will be in what the
nurses call a "happy place."

We will travel to Pittsburgh Monday afternoon, and plan to come back to
Huntington on Wednesday. A friend will provide on-site logistical support
with driving us from the hotel on Tuesday and back to our hotel.

I'll plan to update here on Tuesday after what will be, I'm sure, a very
successful outcome.

In Federationism,

Brad
