Default Cross your fingers

Well, it's been two weeks since my father left for the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.He's had tests all this time and I just got the news today he's going for surgery tomarrow at 8am. This will be the secondary surgery to reconnect the colon after he had a colonoscopy earlier this summer. I'm not really that worried because 1. my pop is the tuffest SOB I know and 2. Mayo Clinic is the only hospital I trust for surgery. Saved my life once. Anyway please cross your fingers for D.O.D. (dear ol dad). It just sucks I'm stuck here running the family business alone. At least 7-10 days after the surgery he'll be released to come home and then it's a slow recovery.

The mayo is the best hospital in the country. My dad had heart surgery there and he is in great shape, the doctors there are great and the nicest people around.

Thanks a lot everybody for the comments. The Mayo Clinic pulled through again. The surgery went perfect on my father and now he's in ICU for a couple days. Also, the surgery took a couple hours longer than usual and afterwards the surgeon told my mom he removed a hernia the size of his fist. Two birds, One stone lol. My dad has been sick for a long time without knowing it the first time he had surgery.

Everyone who reads this: if you ever have doubts and want a second opinion about aomething go to the MAYO CLINIC in MINN. I know if I didn't, I wouldn't have my *********.

to Mayo staff

p.s. merck manual is the best medical information you can get
