Update-- a light at the end of the tunnel

[vyperdd]

After sulking most of the day I finally listened to Dad's message he left this morning. Kept thinking how awful I would feel if it was bad news and I missed saying goodbye to him. He doesn't react well when coming out of sedation. Was just an update that his back surgery went well, had a lot of gunk drained from the cyst and he was waiting for the anesthetic to wear off to see how he really feels.

Relieved that he's okay and already in less discomfort/pain. He sounded pretty alert and more like himself.

Still don't know when I'll be able to visit him. Certainly not til after payday on Thurs. Next weekend is a 3 day holiday for New Year so hope to head down then, maybe even stay overnight. Will be able to take Sam as there won't be a house full of visitors.

That is good news. I just bet he feels better after getting a cyst drained of gunk. They aren't attractive things. I only know about them via my pet rats (not diminishing your dad's experience, honest!) and I've had a rat voluntarily stay on my lap to have me, um, take care of his cyst. And then run away when I was trying to clean it, but you get that.

Like I said, if I can help, let me know.

Thank you!!! A catch up after payday would be great. And I will definitely keep your offer in mind.

Your rat comment made me LOL. :-) I had a small one under my breast that burst and man, did it hurt. Also remember having to get it drained which was not pleasant so Dad certainly has my sympathies.
