Fri, Mar 6th

When Dawn and I arrived home there was a brief message on our voicemail from Dad, so I called him back immediately. Hearing his voice on the recording was encouraging because it meant that he had come through his surgery. However, when I spoke to him he had news that I did not expect. Instead of a pure exploratory operation, the doctors had planned to insert a stint near his malfunctioning kidney. Sadly his IR was too high, so now it's scheduled for Monday.
