Dad's surgery went really well. The Doctors & Rehab folks were happy with his status and they let him go yesterday afternoon.
The bad news is that there were some conflicting directions on medication and he's having some swelling which is causing a bit of pain.
Structurally, the joint is where it's supposed to be. But, there was a lot of trauma to the tissue getting in there and replacing the part of the joint that needed work.
So, please, keep Dad in your prayers for his recovery and healing and Mom, too, as she's trying to take care of him. |

Our #2 turned the big 3 today (30th... i started posting this and I crossed the hour mark). She's a goofball, but I couldn't ask for anyone better than my Rosemary!
Here are some pics to help refresh your memory.
p.s. don't forget my Dad in your prayers as he's going for surgery VERY early Monday.
***************************************************************
UPDATE:
Dad went through surgery wonderfully, everyone was really happy with his progress and he came home today. He's having some pretty extreme pain and swelling so the next couple of days might be rough, so, please, continue to keep him in your prayers! |

As you're enjoying this time of giving thanks with your loved ones, I'd ask you to keep my Dad, Mark Hastings, in your prayers.
He's having knee replacement surgery on Monday and it's been a long time coming. Not only does he need prayers for that, but they won't let him have the surgery if he even has a fever, so please pray that he remains healthy through the surgery date, too, please.
And, if you're reading this, I want you to know that I'm very thankful that God has blessed me with your friendship and encouragement! |

Today is the last day for one of my colleagues who is going home to Java for 5 weeks (interestingly, he lived in the same apartment complex that I did at Ohio State and walked in the same graduation ceremony, now, he's probably my best work friend and sits across the aisle).
Tomorrow, though, is the final day with the company with the last of our team who was outsourced. Thankfully, he just found a job last week, so that's a relief. It's going to be weird without the old team.
Oh well, I'm looking forward to thanksgiving with my family and a few days off!
I hope you have a marvelous weekend with your loved ones! |

If you read my outstanding wife's recent post, you know we bought 6 more goats. They are, indisputably, meat goats. Well, I took the first one in this morning (along with a runt from the last set we bought).
I was on the road at 5:30 and it was as dark as a night gets. I make the 50 minute drive, drop off the goats and head back. Thanks to the daylight savings (maybe the ONLY benefit), the sun started to rise as I returned home.
After a while, I saw some of the most amazingly beautiful clouds lit with an entire palette of colors and texture so bold... well, I almost had a tear well up and just had to thank God for letting me see such a beautiful sight and for being so awesome to create such things.
I hope you are/have been able to see something truly beautiful in God's creation today! |
