whiski_sourDad had his surgery today. It went well for the most part. The doctor was running late due to issues with another surgery so we ended up waiting a couple hours longer than we intended.
The doctor said that he got one big tumor and several smaller tumors out of Dad's bladder, but then found another big tumor behind the first big tumor. He decided to leave it for now until they get the pathology back. He's encouraged, though that the tumors weren't hardly embedded in the bladder wall. He's hoping the other tumor will be the same.
Dad has to have a catheter until Friday. With any luck, they'll have the pathology back by then. If not, next week. And then we'll go from there.
The nurses and doctor were great. They all even wished Dad a happy birthday. And the nurses gave me permission to beat him if he didn't behave himself at home. They're good people. Heh.
Long day, but I'm glad to be done with it.
