My Pops

Good news, he's been home for about a week or so now. He gets the chest tube removed on Thursday. They are going to see how he does without it. He has a nurse that comes out every other day to check on him. Since he hasn't taken a sick day in about 40 years, he's officially on sick leave until June and that's when he retires. I feel bad for him because he's basically confined to the house for awhile, he has to make sure not to catch a cold or anything like that or it could get worse.

So the good news is he's home and the tube comes out. They aren't going to do surgery unless they absolutely have to. He is to stay near a phone at all times in case the other lung decides to give.

My dad got old like overnight. :(
