Well, the good news is that Dad's surgery went without a hitch, and once he's off the "Get Better Faster" Equipment they hooked him up to, he should be good as new.
The arm sling part of the GBFE was not a surprise. The IV-drip ball supplying localized anesthetic, however, was a bit unexpected....the real dose of WTFery here, however, is the device they hooked him up to in order to keep his shoulder cold and soothed.
It is literally an ice chest with a motorized pump and hose to circulate cold water up and around it. I am not kidding, we could honest-to-God be using the device to cool and relax his shoulder to keep a 12-pack of Coor's nice and fresh. (Fortunately, neither of us drinks, so that won't be happening).
Still, he's taking it all in stride rather nicely...looking forward to seeing how airport security deals with it when we go home. XD
