still at work. why, you ask? because modem is dead at home and i'm trying to keep up on bills and email in the interim. dan emailed today from the library to let folks know we were down; i'm sure he's disgruntled as the internet is a HUGE source of jobhunting for him.
so dad's out of the hospital as of last night. we got to the hospital at 11; he went in at 12 for surgery, and was out by 115 or so. in recovery for a bit and then we sat around giggling in his recovery room until about 4. home by 415. all in all, quick and easy. he's off this week, and then has only 2 weeks of work left before the big r: RETIREMENT. he's glad it's a short time, but i think mom is more glad. less stress equals happy family. it's going to be SO weird not to have to worry about dad being on call, missing holidays and family events, having time do just enjoy life. i'm so glad for him i could cry right here at my desk.
in other news, my uncle jed is stabilized. he went in last week w/ mini strokes. the man has no luck, but he has a support system that is awe-inspiring. people are praying for him, visiting him in hospital, doing what they can to keep us apprised of the situation (he's in CA and family is in MN). dad and i actually setup a website on sunday night for him at The Caringbridge. VERY simple and just for folks going through health issues, so that we can update as needed.
that is the last thing i need to do tonight before heading home. i'm tired, it's sunny out and i need to get into my car and head out, but i really want to check and see if there are any other updates. i gave dad a tutorial on how to post, and wrote up directions he can email to family and friends who have updates to post as needed, but i want to make sure that people are checking it. yesterday alone we had about 20 hits!!! which is cool. if anyone feels a need to check it out, drop me a msg and i'll email you the site addy. (:
i'm outtie--see ya'll later. (:
