Dad

My dad had hip replacement surgery a week ago. He expected to go home last Friday or Saturday, but here it is, 7 days later, and he's still in the hospital. He is susceptible to blood clots, and he has some in both lungs currently. The hospital has been WONDERFUL. He's getting excellent care, the staff has been great, and they've acted very proactively to treat the clots. Dad is bored. He wants to go home. But they don't even want him out of bed until the clots dissipate--there is a chance they can travel and do terrible damage if he gets up and walks around.
