I didn't get enough done to completely take the day off from cleaning today, but I did sleep in (all the way to 6:30!)! I may take part of the day off anyway - just because! I do need to get things organized for me being gone for a few days - both for me for things to pack and for the guys left behind! I may not get a lot of cleaning done, but I did hit the high spots yesterday - the kitchen and bathrooms, and AJ vacuumed for me (under protest, I might add).

I did find a nice link for Dad's procedure, Balloon Kyphoplasty:

They sure make it sound easy! I hope it goes as smoothly as it looks in the pictures! I like the 'minimally invasive' part, too.
