Surgery 40

Around 2 this morning dad went back to surgery. He's now out of surgery, back in his room and already moving his arms and legs. We thought that this surgery was going to take place yesterday, but I guess yesterday proved to be a very, very busy day for Dr. Duke. (and why not end a busy day with a 2 a.m. surgery?)



Dr. Duke learned yesterday that the microsurgeons that he planned to use today were not shipped, so early this morning he removed the very fat, already escaping micros, and put in a wound vac. Dad will get a new set of micros on Wednesday, and then return to the Monday, Wednesday, Friday "microsurgery" schedule. Mom has not had a chance to talk to Dr. Duke this morning, but he left a message with dad's nurse that all went well.
