Just wanted to thank you all, and you Dr. Wiliams, for suggesting I call
Dr. Kawasaki.  his hospital is  about five  hours away, and I will
probably ask him to do Frito's surgery.  He definitely knows a lot...
 
Very interesting things he told me.  for instance-- there's a high
correlation between adrenal tumors and insulinoma.  And, the adrenal
tumors cause anemia in prolonged cases.  So, poor Frito will have to be
trreated for Anemia, in addition to his heart medication.  And then
there's the surgery  for removing the adrenal tumor AND looking for
insulinoma.  Wow.
 
But Dr. Kawasaki said that "in theory" the anasthesia should be safe for
Frito's heart.
