Our thoughts for a speedy recovery and a stay of excecution....

Can't say much more than that...

People who work in medical field like MDs and Nurses are often the worst patients. I have been on both sides of the world, so I know how your Mom's challenges will be  . Nevertheless, I hope your Dad will have a successful surgery and recuperate well also. I think it's very hard, especially for physicians, to be the other side of the spectrum. As for your Mom, I am sure she can handle your Dad just fine. Good luck to the both of them.

Update: Quadruple bypass on the 2nd, 24 hours or so in the ICU post-op (standard procedure), then to a regular room for monitoring, and they finally got tired of looking at him and kicked him out Monday. He's home and resting uncomfortably in his own bed, confined to the upstairs away from the kitchen. He's got a healthy-snack-loaded mini-fridge and microwave that will hopefully keep him from needing a muzzle or a "cone of shame." 

Thanks for the well-wishes everyone.

Thanks for the update, and I'm glad your Dad is doing well. We do, in fact, make the worst patients. All except for me, of course

According to my business law professor, Michael Hutter, JD, "I have a doctoral degree. That means that I know everything ever. Now stop questioning me." 

On a side note, I'm honestly a little disappointed that Jaguar was never mentioned in your car thread.

Great to hear your dad is on the mend.  

B and I wish him a speedy recovery.

jag was seriously considered. I love the new sedans. Maybe for the next car.
Your dad is still practicing, right?

[Buckethead]

Ish. He doesn't do surgery anymore, but he still sees patients at the office. Mostly for things like repetitive stress and the like. His proficiency with "workman's comp" paperwork has made him the designated guy in the group for that. After 30 years of having a beeper, the whole "no nights, no weekends, no on-call, no rounds" bit has him feeling like he's already retired. The lack of shareholder meetings is just a party bonus.

We'll see how seriously he takes it when he heads back in a couple-three months. He's been threatening to retire for a couple of years; Mom says if that happens she's gonna have to find a full-time gig or a good alibi.

You're a cutter, yes? What's your area?

Swampy does eyes...

If he cuts I hope he's careful.

[swampduc]

I do cut sometimes... Very carefully 
I'm a retina surgeon. No call sounds like heaven.

Can you give me an eyeplant?

I don't look so good.
