My Dad's 70 and hasn't taken care of himself for many years. Dude's on two knee replacements, one hip, a pacemaker, and has a spinal fusion and a synthetic disc in his spine. Ironic, because he was a brilliant physician and totally knew better, but such are the complexities of human behaviors I guess.

Anyway, he had triple bypass surgery on Thursday. The cardiac part of the surgery went well, but recovery has been a mo-fo. I got down to Greenville on Sunday, and was fortunate to be able to be with him yesterday. Mentally he's like a stroke patient...just in a daze, barely opens his eyes, and while thankfully he knows who I am, he doesn't know where he is or why he's there.

I've been reading a lot---it sounds like cognitive impairment is common after bypass surgery, and his docs seem to think that he is just taking a while to clear the anesthesia and post-op pain meds from his system, but they're still checking for neuro issues as well.

Would just appreciate any good thoughts of prayers for him to have some progress sooner than later....while he's always had a body that was thirty years older than actual age for some time now, mentally he's one of the smartest people I've ever known and probably one of the kindest too, and it's hard as #### seeing him like this. Many thanks.
