My daddy is doing fine, woohoo! He had surgery at 10 A.M. EST yesterday and is recovering nicely. Fluid had been building up on (in?) his lungs and heart because it couldn't escape via the, uh, normal route. (For the curious, I'm both wary of discussing my father's urinary function
and I don't know the specifics firsthand, so please forgive anything I don't make clear. It's because I'm confused about it myself.) His heart is now humming along nicely. His doctors even told him he has a very healthy heart; the kidney stone just temporarily disrupted it. Now he's getting better and should even be home for Christmas. Whee!
