For those of you who didn’t know, Dad aka Grandpa aka Tom had outpatient surgery today. He had been feeling very sleepy over the last few months along with some memory loss, so he went in to the doctors and they said he had an irregular heart beat. So they did a heart cath this morning and found that he had 70% blockage in his left lower part of his heart (sorry, dont know the medial terminology that well to give more than that), and “minor” blockage in another area. They put a stint in the left portion to keep the artery walls open and said that the stint would do more damage than good for the minor area. He was awake for the procedure and was in good spirits when it was done. Mom aka Grandma aka Carol, Steph and I were at the hospital this morning and afternoon and Mom was staying this evening. He should be released tomorrow, pending good behavior!

It is good to back home. Thank all of you for your best wishes and prayers. Grandma Bodey is taking a well deserved nap after taking care of me last night. Thank you, Carol, for being with me. It made the process so much easier.
