  Dick PEDERSEN had surgery on his left carotid artery Wednesday 22 Nov. The surgery came off without a hitch. He's has some mild discomfort, but that should pass quickly. He will be spending the night in Surgery Intensive Care for safety precautions just in case he should start to bleed. If all goes well, he should be home Thanksgiving Day.  He has come through his recent cardiac cath and placement of a combo defibrillator /pacemaker, so this should go as well.
