Post Thanksgiving Day post

I have spent the past four days at the hospital where my father is a patient.  Today, they ended up doing what they were trying to avoid and had to do emergency surgery to remove a good chunk of his colon.  Thankfully, the surgery went well.  I had Thanksgiving dinner in the cafeteria (see photo).  It wasn't too bad and only cost four and a half bucks (and included pie but they were out by the time I got down to eat).   Hopefully, I'll have happier posts next week.

  13. Oh my - so sorry to hear that, but glad it went well. I've spent countless hours in hospital rooms with my parents - I know how that is. That dinner looks pretty OK! Sorry about the pie.

  18. Terrible to have surgery like that. I had a close relative who had to go through it, and it's not fun. So sorry for your dad and for you. Rotten way to end a year. May he heal quickly and may you escape more hospital dinners. Been there.
