I am sitting in the Heart Institute of Leesburg with my father and sister. My father got out of surgery yesterday. We were not able to see him until today. We were a little concerned as he had not woke up yet, and there was the potential for neurological damage. However, we are here today and he is doing well. He is in good spirit, making jokes, and flirting with his nurse. He is still in a tremendous amount of pain, but that was to be expected. What’s most important is that he appears to be okay.

He should be in the hospital till next week. Afterwards, he is going to take some time rehabilitating at their new home in Leesburg. Afterall, he has to be ready for his son’s upcoming wedding.
