Check-in

[vaneramos]

This is the first time the computer in the hospital quiet room has actually been available when I've been here, so I'm checking in. Dad is doing well. The surgery this time was less invasive, so hopefully he'll recover more quickly. Imagine having your chest opened up and wanting to play cribbage 12 hours later. Dad wanted a game after lunch, so we did.

He hasn't heard from the surgeons yet. The day nurse only heard third-person that they didn't find any serious concerns inside. Hopefully one of them will visit this evening so we can get something clearer.

Dad keeps complaining about pain and weakness in his right chest and shoulder. I suspect a strained muscle, but nobody says anything about it.

Uncle George dropped in a few minutes ago, so I'm going for a break.
