Sorry, no pictures. It's been a different kind of Christmas this year; Pop had surgery Monday morning, came out of the hospital Tuesday afternoon and stayed home for about two hours and had a lot of difficulty swallowing. After he vomited I took him back to the ER and they admitted him and performed an endoscopy late that night. His esophagus was clogged with breakfast items and some of the solids got into his lungs causing aspiration pneumonia. He is stable but very weak from the surgery and compounded problems.
I'm writing this from the hospital on Saturday night and at best he may get to come home on Monday with some home health care. His bladder cancer surgery did go well and although all tests have not been reported, they are confident it is treatable.
Wild one with all that has been going on it has been a great Christmas seeing friends and family, especially Mr. Cooper, who is pretty much running the Sanford show at this point. We look forward to Pop getting better and seeing the Highs next week.
