Dad actually came back from surgery quite quickly yesterday after having another wash out. Unfortunately I'm not nearly as quick to get the updates posted. I like to think that slower/fewer updates mean great progress. A plethora of frantic posts never can mean that good things are happening. Thankfully I think those posts are behind me.
Surgery went well, but nothing new to report there. They did the same thing they've been doing for months now. The only thing out of the ordinary was that the recovery room nurse gave him a CUP of ice to eat. A CUP - not the three or four small cubes that he usually gets! Dr. Duke was there and didn't object (or maybe didn't notice), so dad gladly ate them and said they were wonderful. Not only did they not leave him in recovery for hours this time - naked, cold and very bored (as they did one day last week), they gave him a extra ice. He might not mind this frequent surgery schedule so much if he could always be greeted with such a treat in recovery. We aren't sure whether Dr. Duke noticed this , but we do know that if mom tried to sneak him a few extra cubes Dr. Duke would surely find out and that would not be a pretty sight. My fear would be that he'd revoke the ice privilege all together, so now dad's back to only receiving 3 or 4 small cubelets.
On another note, even though he loved the cup of ice, he called the Mennonite choir performance his favorite part of the day. That just shows you guys how amazing they really were!
