tomorrow will be a second surgery with the plastic surgery team to finish putting his head back together. i'm pleased since it means that they figured out what to do. unfortunately we never managed to talk to the doctor ourselves, just got stuff second hand from Dad or his nurse. so i guess now we'll get the real rundown when the surgery is done and the surgeon comes out to do the customary family debrief.

i seem to still remember how to drive in snow, which is fortunate since snow and also hella hills. (i have a soft spot for Pittsburgh and if i had to pick a place to live in PA, this would be it.)
