Mom called a little before 11 and said Dad was still on the operating table, but she'd talked to a surgical technician who said he should be out in about 15 minutes. His BP had been extremely high

Thanks, Patty! Mom called again and said that his right artery was majorly blocked and the left kidney one was 90% blocked!!! Thank goodness they finally did the surgery. We are hopeful that this will make a big difference and that he can come off some of the medicines that have bad side effects.

I can hear the relief in your messages. This surgery was done in what almost seems like the nick of time. I hope your dad recovers well and has no surgical after-effects and gets stronger, and I hope your mom (and the rest of your family) can breathe easier now.

Something good to celebrate this weekend!
