Successful surgery!

Daddy had his hernia repair today, and everything went very smoothly. If everything continues to go well overnight, then Daddy will get to come home tomorrow. I stopped by to see him this evening after work, and he was a little sleepy but very lucid. He ate his jello and chicken broth right after they brought it, and was asking about another friend who was having some health issues today. He was in a little pain, but they were managing it effectively. His anticipated full recovery time is 4 weeks -- so if you see him picking anything up in the next month, remind him that he needs to take it easy! He also will be laying low at home for the next week, so if you want to visit, I'm sure he'd appreciate it -- just call before you go. Thanks for the prayers.
