Dad update

[asterroc]

The weekend of the Hunt Dad had his first (left) knee operated on, to reattach the tendon between the kneecap and the quads. Today it was the other one. The actual cut was smaller (I guess it was less bad?), but there were issues with the anesthesiologist, where s/he couldn't find dad's veins, and then it wasn't enough, and the nerve blocker didn't work, and they ended up giving Dad morphine during the operation... He's in the hospital for a few days recovering, and when I talked to him this evening he said they had him on oxygen b/c of the morphine they'd had to give him. After a few days he'll get moved to a nursing home that's near their apartment so Mom can more easily come to visit.
