thanks guys really appreciate the support - we got to see him before/after surgery he was in good spirits and harassing the nurses...

Night nurse walks in... "hey i thought you were supposed to be wearing a skirt" - my dad

I'm sure the nurses will be glad to get rid of him soon enough. He is supposed to return home sometime over the weekend. I'm thinking a treadmill may be a good gift for his bday on monday

Thanks again everyone.
