update from Spence...surgery scheduled for 7/31

Ok. New update. I went and had the much awaited test today to see if the medicine and my drastic change in lifestyle has help improve my heart. It hasn't. So, tomorrow I will be having surgery. They are placing a bi-ventricular pacemaker with defibrillator in my chest in the morning at 11am at St. Thomas hospital. I had hoped to avoid this, but at this point, I'm just ready to get better. It's time to start living a normal life again. Also, waiting any longer could put me in serious danger of more heart damage or even death. I have 3 children and a wonderful wife that need there dad and husband. Thanks for your continued prayers and support. They have meant the world to me. God heals in many different ways, and I whole heartedly believe this is the right thing to do. Also, in case you're wondering, after this procedure corrects my heart issues, I could live to be 100!!
