Fait Accompli!

My dad had back surgery yesterday and is doing amazingly well today, with no pain or tingling like he has had to deal with since he was 17. He had a spinal fusion with rods and screws, which sounds to me like a hell of a serious procedure, but which his doctor said is a routine procedure for folks about his age (he'll be 65 in a few weeks). He's a little hesitant to move around, but his nurse told him he'll have to suck it up because movement now will help his progress later. We're all so glad he is doing so well.
