Day two, Dad is doing well.
The docs are happy with his progress and are satisfied the operation went well. An unfortunate and unavoidable consequence of such a serious procedure is that Dad is in a lot of pain. Hopefully, he'll start feeling much better in the next day or so and should be moved out of intensive care on Sunday or Monday.
The hospital staff have been brilliant and are doing a great job in keeping him comfortable as possible and encouraging him to sit up and start moving around. The sooner they get the blood circulating, the better the recovery time will be.
Dad is really glad that so many people have taken the trouble to enquire about him.
