Just thought I would let everyone know that my dad had surgery on Monday. He was going to have to wait till Tuesday to even see the surgeon (the dr was leaving on wednesday for his vacation - and wouldn't have been able to do surgery for about 2 more weeks), but seeing that I now have Doctor friends since I run the OR schedule, the surgeon agreed to do surgery Monday morning bef0re even seeing him in his office. Wow that was a long sentence....lol. He had a colonoscopy which was very overdue considering he has not had one in almost two years, since his cancer surgery. The doc found everything normal, no bleeding, polyps, or cancer. He also was able to debride dad's leg wound. He didn't know if he was actually going to be able to do this or not, since he did not see it till minutes before surgery. They thought they would have to send him to the plastic surgeon in Twin or Poky. Things went good, and he was able to go home that afternoon after surgery. He has not been home since he broke his leg April 15th! He started Physical Therapy as an outpatient on Tuesday, before he had been doing it while at the rehab place. Today he got his wound vac that will prepare his leg for skin grafts right as the surgeon gets back from vacation about the 18th. Dad is doing well, he is so happy to be home and feeling better. Now if we can just get him out of the habit of wanting to be in the wheelchair..lol.
