Most of you know that my Dad was in a major car accident a couple of months ago. Yesterday "all the kings horses and all the kings men, tried to put Humpty together again"! Last night, his surgeon visited just to tell us that his surgery went even better than anticipated! Among other procedures, they only had to fuse 2 vertebrae instead of expected 3 because there was bone sufficient enough to do so. Whether or not he has a second surgery will be dependant on his pain and symptoms.
This post is meant to update all of you that have been so supportive to my family during this precarious time. We are so aware of your love, concern and especially prayers. It is also intended to show you that regardless of the severe pain my dad is in (yesterday it reached 11 on a scale of 1 to 10), he is in great optimistic spirits. The doctors are encouraging him to do as much for himself as he can-now if he can just rollover! (he's highly incentivized by chocolate and peanut butter!)
Sending get-well wishes to your dad!
