Dad seems to have come through the surgery okay so far. They removed the balloon in the artery in his leg (from the harvesting of the vein for bypass), but he's still on the ventilator overnight since his blood pressure is still too low. Apparently he had low blood pressure coming out of the gall bladder surgery a few years ago too, so this isn't too shocking or upsetting. Before going into the OR, Dad told Heather he wanted her to go and bring back pics of our patio and everything else so he could see it all. Hopefully he and I will both be well enough in the fall for some visiting.
Other than that we're pretty much prepared for Heather and David's visit. The guest rooms are all set, the bathroom needs a quick wipe down and towels etc set out. Kitchen needs cleaning and the living room needs a couple things put away. I need to figure out how to work the grill tomorrow, but it might be moot with all the rain we've had today.

I'm glad to hear your dad came through his surgery OK. Happy visiting!
I got my first Amazon parcel in the mail today - woo-hoo!
