Al is going into VGH for surgery due to a growth on his thyroid which has been affecting his breathing. He was originally scheduled for an operation some time ago, but opted to stay away from the hospital during the SARS scare.

Thanks to his friends for giving me the update.

This info from last week.

Al was admitted into VGH Monday morning,
for surgery on his enlarged thyroid. As unbelievable as this all seems,
the surgeons only removed about half of the thyroid - thus saving his voice box. He was discharged Tuesday afternoon!

His daughter says "He's in great spirits, and is off his meds, but still smoking"

We wish Al the best
