The Big Guy Has Surgery

Today my dad had his shoulder operated on. This post is mainly for my sister Brandy so she can see how great my dad is doing. Maybe it's the nurse coming out in me, but I was so worried about him today. Everything turned out great and we braved the weather/roads and went up to South Ogden to visit him. He had his rotator cuff fixed and apparently it must be a pretty painful surgery. They sent him home with a machine that gives the surgical site a continuous and demand dose of numbing medicine.

I brought my parents dinner, but my mom was trying to make sure my dad started off eating slowly. Check out some pics below and I will explain.

Here's my dad with his great setup. He's got his ice machine going and his ted hose on. His arm has to be in that sling for 6 weeks! Thank heavens he found some comfy Notre Dame pants to look cool in. I'm sure he will be wearing them a lot.

Here's the big guy eating some butterscotch pudding. He ended up eating 4 butterscotch and 2 chocolate puddings. He probably would have ate all eight that my mom had but Gage and Landen each had one. My mom kept telling him to slow down. He kept threatening her that if she didn't get what he wanted he would get up and get it himself! After the pudding, he tried to eat some of the french dip I brought up. My mom took it away and made him some chicken noodle soup instead.

After all that food, he was tired!

Right after his nap, my dad was back in action! He ate a bowl of lime sherbet. Then, my sister Cami made brownies and he insisted that he have one more bowl of sherpet topped with the brownies! Gross! As of right now, he has yet to throw up.
