Waiting

My dad had a large stone removed from his bladder today. The surgery was a success and now I'm waiting for him to be out of recovery.

Not much opportunity for photo ops and I didn't bring my camera anyway.

This a pager that you receive now for communications.

Thank for your prayers for a quick recovery!
Hope it all went well Tara. Thoughts your way. Great dof on this too...

My thoughts and prayers are with you. In the meantime, I think you have captured a very good sense of the wait and the pager carries with it a great sense of responsibility. And the empty chairs--well, imagine we are actually sitting in them to be with you. :)

@darylo Aww, your sweet comment gave me chills and tears. Thank you Daryl. He should be able to go home soon. The surgeon said that a hospital is no place for an 83 year old man - comforting.

Thoughts and prayers for your family. Our hospitals don't have pagers yet, but I can see where there would be benefits.

@darylo Finally! I got home around 5:30. He's at home (10 mins away) doing well. He's alert and doing well - hungry mainly :). Here's hoping that this takes care of the infection. Thanks for your prayers and for checking in.

Hi there! Came to see your pics, but no more posted yet. You must be like me. Either busy with work, or busy with fun. I cannot complain about yesterday's busy. Laurie, Davis, and Erin came up to swim and cook out..... It was fun. Mark was sick at home. They had not been up here in four years. So it was a nice family event.
