Dad

So my dad went to the hospital with severe stomach pain last night and it was appendicitis. He had an laparoscopic appendectomy, because it hadn't burst yet, so he should heal more quickly.

It was all over so fast. I was at the hospital at 8, they took him in at 8:30, they were done by 9:30 and he was out of recovery at 10:30. Just amazing.

I am sure he had a crappy night at the hospital, but hopefully he will be home today where he can sleep and heal.

It was weird seeing dad like that, though - he's one of the guys, you know, who's never sick and has a very high tolerance for pain.

Typical dad. He goes to work even though he's in pain. Decides to come home early becasue it hurts so bad, but decides to swing by Costco to pick up a Christmas present and then swing by Target to pick up another one. Then he goes home, lays down for a minute, decides the pain is too bad, and then heads to the doctor. :::roll my eyes and sigh::: that's my dad!
