I hope all goes well.
**IF** your dad seems fuzzy after the operation, try cutting way back on the pain meds, or out altogether if possible. The combination of post-anesthesia and pain meds can make people disoriented. (It's happened to several people I know.)

Wow, I can just imagine what's going through your head right now. My mom had a heart attack a few weeks ago.
In no time she was back to being as ornery as ever, though. Seriously, angry Mal has nothing on my mom.
Your dad's gonna be just fine. God is one of healing. Your family will be in my prayers.
Start planning the Get Well party. I'll be there in spirit!

Hello Channain,
I'm sending you and your father my best wishes and keeping my fingers crossed for a quick recovery. I want to tell you a bit to cheer you...
My grandfather was admitted to the hospital last year with an unidentified problem. Turns out he had a gangrenous gall bladder, pneumonia in both lungs (double), and colon cancer.
They removed the cancer and gall bladder, and aggressively treated his pneumonia. He survived against all odds!
He is now living in Colorado with my mother, kicking up his heels twice a day. He's 90 years old.
I hope that little survival story gives you faith in your dad's recovery. Just goes to show you, even when you are old and the odds are WAY against you, things can turn out great!
Much good luck and health to you and your family!

Dad Update: He came through the surgery really well. He's been in ICU ever since, but today he's sitting up, watching nurses (his wink works) and wondering how much longer he has to sit there.
He was a little disoriented at first, no doubt as a result of his pain meds. They took him off the more powerful ones and he was much more alert after that. He's supposed to be sleeping, but really he'd much rather be out stacking wood. Yeah, like THAT's gonna happen!
I fully believe that threads like this are equally as effective as having many voices in one place praying. I've seen it done before. Again, I thank everyone for your support!
This really is the shiniest spot in the 'verse!
I draw...therefore I am.
