A New Hip for Christmas.

Three days before Christmas, my dad turned a whopping 74 years old.  The morning after Christmas, he went in for his second new hip this year.  This time it was his right hip.  He was a little concerned that this one might delay his golf game a little more than the first one, since he is a leftie and puts more strain on his right hip.  Of course, he scheduled his surgery so as to not interfere with his golf season too much.

Due to his surgery, Dani stayed the night at our house on Christmas, since he and mom would be gone all day.  Sam went home, and we just let him out periodically.  Dani is such a smart, fun little doggo.  We took her through Dutch Bros while Kendall was working and Kendall made her a special little pup cup.

We went by the hospital, after the surgery, to check on my dad.  He was out walking the halls.  It is unbelievable how quickly they have people up after surgeries nowadays.  

He did great and was able to head home that afternoon.  He will be taking it easy the next couple of weeks.  Though they did instruct him to be up walking around in the house every two hours.
