Not before dad's appointment, though. So it's official. He signed for surgery. Test result return not 2 but 3 aneurysms. Because of his age, the doctor recommends laparoscopic procedure. Which allows faster recovery and shorter hospital stay. However, this procedure cannot deal with the 3rd aneurysm. It has to be taken care of beforehand, on the scanner. The blood vessel to his right butt will be closed off. 1/3 of patients will have permanent pain afterward when walking. Painkiller can help. Well, we'll see. It's not like dad is walking much anyway.
