Well, I was pleasantly surprised upon my return to hear my father's voice again. Although the sound of it is a little different with him being so weak and all. Nonetheless it is great to be able to communicate with him fully again. He has been cracking jokes the whole time and making us all laugh. He really helps to keep our spirits up.
Today's surgery went well, they drained 2 liters of fluid from the thigh that has been infected. They will not proceed with the other leg until they can get this infection under control. They are worried about putting any more metal in his body until the infection looks better. So we will see what they say tomorrow.
Right now he is watching Tool Time on TV (because finally, after many failed attempts on our part, we have found him a suitable pair of glasses) and resting as comfortably as he can. As usual, he is ready to go into surgery...RIGHT NOW, we just have to wait for the doctors to be ready for him which is supposed to be tomorrow afternoon. More news then.
Good Night for now,

Stacy and Robb (from yesterday) - thank you for keeping us all up-to-date. I check in first thing in the morning and when I get home at night. I am very grateful to hear news of Joe and the caretakers, who are doing an unbelievably fabulous job out of love and devotion. People in Boston in my church, work places and meditation group continue to pray, chant and care about Joe. PEOPLE REALLY CARE*** Sending love and energy toward the Albany Medical Center. Aunt Bev
Cindi and Family, My heart goes out to all of you, it seems like it was a rough weekend, but we continue to have you in our hearts and prayers. A big hug to you Cindi, you sound like an amazing person yourself. Tell Joe we said hello and we continue to pray.
