Post Surgery Update

Tomorrow will be two weeks since my father's brain surgery to relieve the swelling caused by the necrotized tumor. He is no longer in the hospital; he was moved to a rehabilitation facility nearby, and we all visit daily. He's progressing as expected. Since he was taken off the steroids, he's very tired, but he has to do physical therapy a few times a day to regain his strength he lost in the many weeks prior to the surgery. Once he can use his arm and legs again, he can come back home.
