Just a brief update on situations and so forth…

We brought dad home from the hospital yesterday.  He’s in good spirits, the surgery was successful (hiatus hernia, stomach up where it didn’t belong dragging intestine with it…nasty…) and now he needs to recover, gain some weight back and start moving around a bit more.

Because he is quite frail for the time being, I will be staying with him and helping out as much as I can.  And dear Myria, that unacknowledged saint, is also helping out - and a good thing too because my energy levels aren’t what they should be and she is so much more patient than I :)

Dad however (being dad you know…) doesn’t have an internet connection so I will be out of touch for the time being - not posting or commenting.  There’s the possibility that this arrangement may become permanent, though we’re not really considering it just yet.  But the subject has come up and we’re mulling things over.

In the meantime, I hope you all have wonderful holidays and I promise I’ll be back as soon as I can!
