Dad -- UPDATE
My father during our cross-country train trip in 2004, when we belatedly celebrated his 70th and my 40th birthdays by cruising the Caribbean together, returning via the Panama Canal.
After spending the night at the hospital for observation, Dad received his walking papers today, along with a variety of bandages, puncture wounds, bruises, lacerations and assorted contusions. Still, for all that, he looked pretty good tonight and seemed to be in decent spirits.
It seems we've reached a point in both our lives where our roles are reversed: Dad spent many years worrying about the health and safety of his children; today, I find myself constantly concerned for his well being. Today I felt like we both dodged a bullet, thank God.
Speaking of which, it's a good thing Dad changed his mind about that idiotic Smart Car.
Many thanks for all the kind words and prayers for Dad's speedy recovery.

This could have been a LOT worse. You could have had the cashew cat/chicken. Give your Dad my regards.
