Dad's cataract surgery cancelled; resheduled for March 21st.

Hi Family & Friends:
Sorry, I haven't gotten the message out about Dad's cataract surgery which ended up
being cancelled by the surgeon's office at the request of the anesthesiologist, who said
it was too soon after the hip surgery. Dad wasn't overly disappointed because he realized
after the fact---he felt no where up to it.
Dad started out like me, right after his hip replacement (perhaps a bit too overly confident)
realizining the original pain was gone--replaced by another. But, still our perspective is (for
me, I'm 7+ weeks post-op and that much closer to full recovery) and Dad's now 1+ week
post-op and that much closer to full recovery.
Rob's the one who said all of our "kids" drew straws about who would let us stay (since we
were homeless and Mariah & Art lost and from my perspective, they've lost a 2nd and soon
3rd time for having to put us up or more probable--to who puts up with us!
We appreciate your loving and caring concerns. Mariah & Art are so gracious and kind to us.
Art's Dad had surgery for stomach cancer, so please pray for his recovery and for Lili to have
the stamina to care for him.
Hope, Art and Jason don't mind; but feel it needs to be said---Jason has apparently had mono
for about a month and is very run down. So it would be appreciated to include all of us sickies.
Sure seems like a lot of health issues! SO hoping the rest of you are purring along and are
healthy. We miss you all and look forward to traveling south, as our heath permits---for me
I can handle about an hour in the car or shorter---Dad's already driving--no suprise there, right?!
Love you all,
Mom/ grandma/ pat mac
