Just want to let everyone know that my dad's surgery was a success! He's in great spirits right now and can't wait to get on a bike (even if it's one of those silly recumbent ones at the gym) and put on the white shorts (I'm sure he'll get some funny looks at the local health club). Thanks again for all of the well wishes, it really means a lot to him.
