First off, my poor engine, The #7 rod broke at the wrist pin and put a hole in both sides of the oil pan as well as some other damage. So I figure that I am done for the season. Maybe, we found a new engine the other night and may be able to get up and running soon.
But after I got home from the class, the Sunday following, Dad started not feeling well, He had his first physical therapy appt, and Sis had a dentist appt that day as well. On the way home from the dentist I stopped and got him some 7Up, thinking that Maybe he just had an icky belly. On Tuesday he had his MRI and still wasn't feeling well, so I took him into the ER at the VA. Well after a long week of miscommunication and waiting to see what Dad's body was going to do, he went in for Surgery yesterday morning. They did not have to do any reconstructing of his bowel, but he did have some adhesion's and some blockages. They took him to ICU after the surgery for close supervision, and I will go see him today and hope that they can transfer him to a regular bed today. I don't think that he will be home by Thursday, and even if he is, he has a long belly incision and being in a car for 12 hours isn't a good idea. So we will go see the family in September. It also won't be has hot then, and it is still early enough in fall that we won't have to deal with snow on the mountains. Depending on how Dad is feeling and everything else going on, we may take a whole week and go to Idaho as well to see his Sister. We will see how he feels at that time and how everything else is going in our lives.
