Dad's Surgery

He's recovering. He had a tough time of it. He's actually had several blood transfusions today and is now on a machine that pumps the blood out of his wounds, cleans it, mixes it with something or other and pumps it back in. They say he has totally new blood as of this afternoon. Seems the PCM made a "mistake" and had Dad taking percadan or something with aspirin in it and you aren't supposed to take that for a period of time before surgery. Two hour surgery took 3 1/2....1-2 hour recovery was 5 1/2.....I did talk to him.

I hope your dad has a fast recovery. Pretty bad about them giving him the wrong medicine after surgery.
