Muffit -
Wow.... I didn't know that they could operate on someone with only local anesthesia. I can't even imagine what that kind of pain is like or what it would be like to be conscious during such a procedure. It sounds difficult enough without the "compications".
I'm glad that your dad came through the majority of it okay. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Thanks for sharing with us!
Best always,
Bryan
