Best of luck to your dad, **Coldfire**. I’ll be thinking all the best thoughts to send your way. ☹ Tell him to take good care of himself, and I hope he recovers well! ---

Well, they’re picking him up in a few minutes. I just spoke to him on the phone, and he was in good spirits, not nervous at all. Fingers crossed. The operation takes about 3.5 hours… ---

Thanks guys! I just got back from the hospital - normally a 70 minute drive, which turned into a 2 hour drive what with all the traffic and accidents. Gah. Anyway, my father passed the operation with flying colours. He was enjoying his apparently rather powerful morphine buzz, slurred his speach a bit. Other than that, a bit of nausea from the anasthetic. Oh, and he’s not allowed to eat and drink anything for 36 hours, yikes! Luckily, the morphine makes him very sleepy so he’s not awake all that much. Oh, and just to give you an idea of the operation: he lost 2.5 liters of blood! :eek: In a week, the test results will be known, and we’ll know for sure whether the cancer is gone for good. Then again, do you really EVER know? Ah well, we’ll settle for good news next week. Again, thanks for all the good vibes - I’m sure they made a difference! 🙂 ---
