Woke up on the wrooong side of the bed this morning. I am a big old grouchola today. I really don't plan to post too much today, but if I do I apologize in advance for the content.
Grrrrr. GC smash!

One step forward, two steps back.

So, my dad's been home for almost two weeks, and doing well. While recovery from the surgeries has been slow and painful, he's progressing far better than initially expected. The diabetes is under control with a single daily insulin injection, oral meds, and diet control. All is well, right?

Well, he started to have abdominal pain last night. And his blood sugar was way high this morning. So my mom dragged him to the emergency room...where they diagnosed him with gall bladder disease (seemingly unrelated to anything else). He's not exactly the standard demographic for this, the most common sufferers being people who fit the "Five F's" (Female, Forty to Fifty years old, Fertile, Fat, and Flatulent...nice eh?). He's just one of the lucky ones.

So right now they're making him take a radioactive tracer so they can get a look at the gall bladder. If it's not too inflamed, it's a simple matter of laproscopic surgery to remove it. Relatively easy. If it is inflamed, lapro is too risky and they'll have to make a full incission. He does NOT need that at this point.

Sigh.
