Dad's surgery

Well today was the day for my dad's gallbladder surgery. Early day, they had to be at the hospital at 5:30 I believe. Not as bad as Keith, he was up at 3am for work due to a special task he has going on. Back to dad...I got email and phone calls throughout the morning updating me on dad. Heather went with mom and dad, so mom had company. One of the two would call one of the siblings and we would pass the info along through emails. Updates were not too exciting as they were basically saying they had no updates, noone is telling mom and Heather anything! Grr frustrating! Finally around 11am our time I got word dad was out of surgery!! Doc said it was a very hard surgery. Hope the recovery is not that hard! They started going in laproscopically and I guess got 90% of the gallbladder removed when the scar tissue came into play. They couldn't go any farther and had to end up cutting him open. Man that stinks!! They got so close. Now he has a 4.5" incision on his belly. Mom says he's almost got a Z shape going on with all his scars. Probably not what dad was hoping for. I talked to mom around 3pm when he was up in a room. Mom says he was popping in and out of sleep. He'd start to say a sentence and wouldn't get it finished before he fell asleep, lol. Heather left for home to try and get some sleep as she has a hockey game tonight. Not sure what moms plans are. I guess dad will be in the hospital for a few days, but they didn't say how long. We're all very relived the surgery is over and they got grandpa fixed up. Salem gave a Woo Hoo when we got word he was out and okay. Now if mom will be able to keep grandpa from over doing things once he gets back home. No more home improvements for a while!! We love you Dad/Grandpa/father-in-law!
