Hopefully he'll feel like blogging again soon. I can't believe he squeezed one more in before the operation! That's dedication! I don't have that kind dedication to anything. Not to my house plants. Or my cat. Maybe some of my shoes. The red Jeffery Campbell pumps. Priorities.
Anyway - back to Dad. As a retired public employee, I'm sure he'll have some thoughts on the recent TOTALLY HANDLEBAR MUSTACHE-ESQUELY SINISTER UNDERHANDEDLY SNEAKY passage of the bill in the Wisconsin senate to take away collective bargaining. And other stuff. So look forward to that.
In these days following the human and natural tragedy that is the Japanese earthquake/tsunami/nuclear explosion trifecta, I'm just so damn thankful to still have my dad. And to live somewhere where the waves didn't surpass the 3ft mark. Though there are totally sharks here.

Good to hear. Virtual flash mob in the hospital cafeteria?
Yay!!
Word verification 'readi.' We are readi, Robert!
Good blog, sister. Dad will be proud. Whether he begins to repeat "Four legs bad, two legs good" at random intervals during family gatherings as a result of his new pig/human heart hybrid remains to be seen. Even so, it'll be a small price to pay for having our dad still on this earth.
I'm thankful you have your father also. Great news :)
Get well soon Robert !!
Wonderful news. Thanks for passing it along.
I imagine he may have something to say about the pig whose valve is now assisting his wonderful heart. Can't wait.
Take care. Best wishes.
Wishing only the best for your father and a speedy recovery. Got here from KleinsteMotte's blog.
This is great news! And thanks to daughter Kara for the update post. I also hope every day he has fewer of those tubes hanging around. Yayy! I can't wait either to hear his take on the Wisconsin end run.
Glad to hear things are going better. Send my well wishes to your dad.
Thank you for the update. All my best wishes to your dad.
Glad to hear he's doing ok :)
Great news about your Dad, Kara, but some possible bad news: his oinking may keep Nancy awake at night {not that it's any of our business).
Thanks for the post.
excellent news!
hang in there robert.
Good news, Please extend to your Dad my best wishes for a speedy recovery. If your Dad is anything like me, the boredom of recovery will have him back on his feet in no time.
Thanks for the update. Glad it's going as good as can be expected.
Glad he's recovering and thanks for letting us know.
One more update -- visited Dad today and he looks really good for someone who just had heart surgery two days ago. He's now out of ICU and back over to the regular recovery area. They also removed a couple more tubes from him, though there are still many more remaining. If they keep on removing them at this rate he might be tube-free by Christmas.
A speedy recovery for a superb blogger from an aspiring geezer.!
Speedy recovery Robert !! :-)
Here's hoping the recovery is going well. A week's gone by so I'll assume the best.
Moving out of ICU is a huge milestone, the very best sign. Maybe your dad can be tube-free before Easter...before April...fingers crossed.
Great, entertaining post. Thank you.
Can't wait to hear from him again and thanks for taking charge in the meantime.
Kara, your dad is so proud of you and the way you fill in on his blog gives us a glimpse of some of the reasons why. You write well. Thank you for letting us know about the operation.
