;D ;D ;D We are happy! Thanks friends for all your support. I'm betting God smiles down on unomas and lends a little extra ear. I'm feeling the love. Dad did great....and the surgeon wasn't so shabby either! This was a tricky operation and the doc really thought going in that Dad would have to have a full open surgery. But, he tried the less risky version first and hit it just right. Miracles of modern medicine and a talented group of pros. He said Dad is now sitting around with about $50,000 worth of hardware inside. We know he's worth every penny He still has a long road, cause the majority of his problems weren't related to this issue.....he has some kidney stones and multiple compression fractures in 10 to 12 disks in his back....major full time chronic pain. But, there are procedures for these that are promising..so now we can move on to those. Carolyn...I had to laugh....Dad is 83. So you really can relate. We're just looking for some quality of life, you know? My goal is to get Patrick and Granddaddy out for a great day at the zoo sometime this year!! My Dad thinks Patrick hung the moon and outside of Mom and Dad, Granddaddy was about Patrick's first word. He was so concerned that Patrick would not talk that he used to call him every night to "Talk to Granddaddy", and we live in the same town! LOL Thanks again....you guys are great! ~Tricia

Glad to see that your Dad did well with the surgery. Here's hoping that you will be taking him and Patrick for a day at the zoo real soon!!!
And I know what you mean about him thinking that Patrick hung the moom, Alison and her Grandma have a similar kind of relationship!
