Back on the Streets Again...

Dad was released from the hospital on Friday afternoon! He is back at his condo & seems to be in good spirits. He had lunch with Hugh yesterday, and appears to be "on board" with going to The Foundry, however he needs to figure out this "throat thing" first...

He is still having problems with his esophagus, and went in for another stretch this morning. His regular doctor was out, so he didn't get quite as much information from the "substitute stretcher" as I had hoped. But basically, he got it stretched again, so he's feeling fine right now - But we just need it to stay open - Otherwise we'll have to talk about that surgery option... They actually cut out a piece of your esophagus and replace it with a piece of your intestine... Ewwww, talk about bad breath... Kidding (that's what Jesse said, ha)! :) But that sounds way better than having a feeding tube permanently placed into his stomach. Also... on a little scarier note (but Dad told me to not get my panties in a bunch)... They are doing a biopsy on his espophagus - He says there is lots of scar tissue (& other stuff?) down there that they scraped and sent off for labs to test whether it was cancerous. He didn't seemed concerned at all... Maybe it's just routine!?

So now... Throat. Then Foundry.
