Subject: DML: OT: Dad's surgery

Just wanted to let everyone know that my Father's surgery went very well

today. Typical hospital took him back about 1:30pm instead of the
scheduled
time of 10am. But anyway, the surgeon's only complaint was how thick
and
muscular my Father's neck was. He wears a size 18-1/2" shirt collar so
it
was to be expected. Originally they were going to fuse three vertebrae
together, but once into the operation they discovered the third disk was
just
fine and the MRI was blurred. So instead of three fusings he now has
two and
a nice little stainless steel plate as well. He is going to stay over
night
in the hospital and has a little bit of a sore throat from the surgery
moving
his larynx around. Other than that he is doing great. Thanks to all
who
remembered him in either thought or prayer. My family is very grateful
for
these actions. I spoke with my Father briefly and told him about
everyone on
the list responding to my e-mail. He was very thankful for the
responses and
wishes me to tell everyone Thank You. I also want to say Thank You
again.

The other Will
