swestrup | Here's a prime example

I mentioned a while ago that there are important things in my life that I simply don't mention here. Well, here's a fine example of something I wasn't mentioning and which now isn't a problem.

My father is in the hospital right now. He's just had an operation to remove his nonfunctional left arm. He's doing fine, and can't wait to leave.

I've been worried about this a whole lot lately, but I haven't said anything to anyone, since I wasn't looking for sympathy. I just wanted it to be over and to have gone well. It was a simple operation and no side effects were expected, but then again, it was a simple intestinal operation with no expected side effects which robbed him of the use of his left arm several years ago.

(A malpractice suit for which is still slowly grinding through the courts.)

Anyway, I just wanted to announce that he's okay, and apologize to those who I really should have told about my worries, especially my wife
