Missing info

Sorry...realized I left out some stuff. Yes, discovered yesterday following x-rays that Dad had indeed broken his hip. He was referred to an Ortho Surgeon and an Internal Medicine Doc, with the expectation that he would need surgery. They withheld any food for the rest of the day with the possible expectation of surgery, perhaps by the evening. Ortho Doc didn't see him until close to 9 and scheduled the surgery for 7:30am today. After picking up Justine from the airport, we headed to the hospital and arrived about 9:45--the nurse had already tried to find some snacks, and I had a banana in my car, so we helped him drink and eat. We stayed until after 11 and he seemed to be resting comfortably.
