Default In need of some good thoughts.

my dad goes wednesday morning for surgery for a stomach aneurysm. Dr. found it before it made him sick and the Dr thinks surgery should go pretty well and dad's health is pretty good. i just figure it never hurts for some extra good vibes.

Hope everything goes well, my thoughts will be with you. I know what your going through with my dad's surgery. He's got one more chemo treatment next Thursday and then doesn't need another for six months.

The same thing happen after my dad's surgery, expect the blood was gathering outside where the colon was remove. He had a fever also. Sometimes surgery on an older person is tougher after it's done.
