Dad is in recovery

I just met with the surgeon and he said that everything went very well. Funny, he did not mention that it would have been faster had I been there to assist.

They were able to remove the blockage and there was no undue stress on the heart during the procedure. He was under local anesthetic, so recovery should be fairly quick. He's in post-op right now and he'll be moved up to ICU in an hour or so for recovery. He should be able to go home tomorrow and drive by the end of the week. As much as Dad requested a catheter, they would not put one in for him. Even though they said he should be fine, Susan keeps insisting she needs to help him go to the bathroom. Weird, huh?
