[Leica] Surgery went well

[Aram Langhans]

At 95 years young, my father-in-law's surgery to correct his hiatal 
hernia went well.  He is recovering way faster than the surgeon had 
said.  He is amazed.

The day of the surgery he looked like death warmed over and was in 
tremendous pain.  It was hard to watch him as he grimaced in pain every 
few minutes.  A long rough night.

But two days after and the pain was well under control. Day 3 he was out 
of ICU and today, day 4 they moved him to a rehab facility.

Originally they had said 4-6 weeks rehab, but now they say 7-10 days, 
but I don't think he will be there that long.  He is a tough old bird.  
Before this problem he lives alone, still drives, pulls his 5th wheel 
when we go camping, hikes to Vernal Falls in Yosemite, and hauls his 
D600 all over the place.  We have reservations for the Albuquerque 
Balloon Fiesta again this October and Yosemite at the end of that 
month.  Looking forward to many good hikes and camping outings to come.

Comments welcome.
