It's always hard to convince my father-in-law, A., to do the healthy thing. For once, he was convinced ... and now the VA hospital is going to make it impossible for him to be convinced again. (Backstory here and here and here.)
A's prostatectomy was scheduled for Tuesday, April 18. He'd finally listened to his doctor's recommendation that he not work the following weekend. And just now, he gets a call from the hospital that the operation will have to be postponed because there are too many other procedures ahead of his on Tuesday.
I can't see A. telling the country club where he has a music gig that he's taking yet another weekend off. Plus, if the procedure isn't done before April 23, hospital regulations will require him to redo all of the preop testing. Sigh!
