Red

Just saw the movie "Red". I liked it a lot! Different, funny and lot's of shoot'em up.

We went to see my dad this morning. He was wide awake when we got there. The nurses had just changed all his dressings and he was pretty clear thinking. Well, mostly clear thinking. The doctors say that along with the medication and the prolonged stay in the hospital, he still has a bit of ICU psychosis. They expect he'll come out of that in time.

The prognosis from his surgery is good. His wound is healing and the doctors are pleased with how things are starting to work as they should. They most likely will watch his progress over the next four days to determine whether he will get to move to rehab. From there they expect a few weeks of rehab and recovery and then home. He's been off his feet for 6 weeks and that combined with the stress his body has endured from the surgery, the complications and the infection, he doesn't have his equilibrium back yet. He does however, still have quite a bit of body strength. And evidentially his lips are working as he and my mom were smooching right before we left. lol

I'm super happy it is Saturday although a bit bummed that the day is almost over! Last week was super busy at work. Up at 4:30 am, out the door by 5 and off to work. There till late, then to see dad and home by 7 or 8. Walking out of the door in the morning while it is still dark and then returning home in the evening darkness is for the birds!

Can't wait for church tomorrow. We are in a new sermon series about the life of Jesus through the eyes of Luke. Love it.
