Update

Thanks, everyone, for your concern about my dad. He had surgery yesterday, which put a rod into his right leg and fixed his left ankle. He will still need more, because his left knee was still too swollen to operate on yesterday, and he needs plastic surgery to replace skin on both legs. (ew.)

He called me today, and he sounded tired, but still my papa. I am going down to visit the weekend of March 15, which happens to be the only weekend I'm in the States between now and April.
