OK, well we have all been lowered now that Lord and Lady Broecker have been with the queen.  Take a peek at this pic and bow down.  We hope they might “grace” us at our next dinner.  But many of us may not be worthy.

I’m so jealous !!!!

But he is my big brother, at least for now.  J

Final update…

Dad made it out of surgery (1.5 hours) with a glowing report from the surgeon.  The ball fit right into the socket and he should be better than new in no time.

He will spend another couple of days in the hospital and then off to rehab.  Why, oh why is this song stuck in my head?

Thanks for all your prayers and support,
O’Bryan, et al

Update…

They will schedule tomorrows surgeries about 5am tomorrow morning.  Mom will try and get an e-mail out.  If not, she’ll leave me a message and I’ll send one out around 7:30 am.

Dad is still in traction and doesn’t like it.  He’s actually getting a little grumpy 🙂 — I have to add a caveat, Dad grumpy is me on a good day.

The chair they gave Mom lies all the way back (I tried it) so she’s actually getting some sleep except for all the hospital coming and going.

More tomorrow,
O’Bryan

P.S.  I’ll also be posting to FB if you would rather read stuff there.

More information.  IF they had identified the broken hip in Cancun, there would be much less damage and problem.  Oh well, we have to deal with what we have now.   Because the blood supply was not reaching the hip socket for 7 days, he is going to have to have a partial hip replacement.   That should last 5 years.  It is much less invasive that a total hip replacement.  They will  have him up walking the day after surgery.  Now to the surgery—he needs to have the blood thinner out of his system.  That should be 72 hours but they want to do this surgery as soon as possible (like yesterday).  We will either be an “add on” today (there are 10 ahead of us) or tomorrow.  So, just in case, he cannot have food.
