Osler's Razor

Wednesday was supposed to be pretty fun. I was headed back to Detroit for the Detroit Homecoming, a pretty awesome event that gathers Detroit expatriates. You can read about it here.

That same morning, my dad was going in for a hip replacement. Lots of people have that done, and it is fairly routine. Except, this one wasn't. During the pre-op, something went wrong. His breathing stopped. Then his heart stopped. They did CPR and revived him, but it was... close.

He is better. He is home. And I am so glad. This afternoon, we will sit in the back yard of their house, and laugh. So, if you are inclined, say a prayer of thanks. I know I will.
