We Are Home from MAYO!

Dad called this morning and delivered the good news to us. He can go home! We were shocked and happy to leave earlier than expected. We left around 12:30pm and got home just a little while ago at 7:30pm. Dad was drugged up pretty good for the ride and mom took care of him from the back seat.

Here is a picture of dad just out of recovery after the surgery. I am pretty sure he doesn't even remember taking this picture.
The next day he was in better condition. He wanted to have this picture for the guys at work.

This is the scar that he will have on his back. They took out an arachnoid cyst that was almost 6 inches long! Wonder why he was having pain and numbness in the lower part of his body? He has already said the feeling is coming back in his legs and chest!!

While I was in Rochester I was abloe to hook up with Rich McIntosh. I met him and his ex-coworkers for some beer at Mickey's. He is starting his retirement and will be taking care of baby Floyd when he arrives. Good Luck Rich! They had a meat raffle, yes a meat raffle, at Mickey's and Rich won 3 ribeye steaks. Retirement is starting off on a good note. And thanks for showing me the sights and sounds of Rochester.

This is for those of you that haven't seen of these gas stations. The good ole Pump'N Munch. It would also me a great name for an adult store!

I'm glad your dad is home but did you have to shave his back for that or did you use Nair?
