Saturday Night-Post Surgery Day 1

Kind of treading water here.  Anita's blood pressure is still a little low, and she is still on the supermodel diet (ate practically nothing today.)  She got out of bed for a while, but problems with nausea put her back in bed soon.  Really nothing to worry about says Dr. D, just a side effect of being under anesthesia so long.  Its a difficult balance between too much pain meds and not enough.  So she is in CCU probably thru tomorrow.

I was not around much of the day.  I went to Compton College, (Southern Californias oldest junior college) where my 86 year old dad received his college degree today.  My dad was about to enter as a freshman in 1942, when he was sent to the interment camps for japanese americans in WWII.  A recent state assembly bill made it possible for him and his classmates to receive their degrees today.  They had a full on ceremony just like a regular college graduation. So after 68 years, dad finally got his degree.  By my calculations, he may be the slowest college graduate in modern history!!!!  I guess we have to start taking him to job fairs and stuff like that.

A big thanks to hula sister Arlene who stepped in to take care of Anita in the AM while I was gone, and to Donna and Susie (from tennis) who took the afternoon shift.  I think Rose, one of my tennis buddies wife, might have been there also in the afternoon

She is resting easily, napping a lot.  Update again in the morning.
