Originally scheduled for yesterday, but a major, multiple fatality, multiple injury accident in the county to the west, that you likely heard about on the news, had higher priority.

Modern anesthesia has progressed so much in the past few years that it has really surprised me, and while still a non-zero danger event is tolerated well by the elderly.

Now that he's awake, he's not so much of a happy camper, but as Chief Dan George put it: "That is the way things are."
The long haul now begins as Dad & I get to find out just what's involved in recovery and rehab from a hip replacement.
