Out of surgery

Dad is out of surgery and doing just fine. They couldn't remove the gallbladder laproscopically (due to all of the scar tissue), so they had to cut him open again. The doctor said he really had to dig that gallbladder out! The good news is that Dad did not have a hernia; the "bubble" (as Dad so affectionately calls it) was caused by the skin and mesh from his accident surgery. Stuff had moved around and readjusted itself in there. The doctor was able to fix that while he was in there, so he won't have to have a second surgery. I'll keep you updated as I get word from the hospital.
