Dad had his surgery on his leg last week. He had to have the artery replaced so he is in much more pain than with just the shunts. This time he was in the hospital for four days and came home Tuesday. The doctor said he had a good pulse in his leg and is doing fine. He is all bruised up and his whole leg is swollen. He is just glad to be out of the hospital. Who said you can rest there? He said he could do a better job taking care of himself than they did. One time he had to wait three hours for his pain meds when he asked for them and if you need to use the bathroom forget it. He is using a walker a little bit around the house mainly outside. Mom stayed home yesterday just to keep him in line because when he came home on Tuesday he wouldn't sit down and was really hurting by night time. If you read this Uncle Jim, Dad was actually wearing those crazy pants you got him for Christmas one year.
He said they were very comfortable. He is due to go back to the doctor on the 12th to see if he can go back to work etc. Slow recovery but he is doing fine.

Glad Bob is doing well and that surgery was successful. He looks good in the pj's- I have a pair just like them that I wear when we have out 3 weeks of winter.
