inconsequential complications

Not much new to report. Dad's been in and out of the hospital a couple of times due to bizarre and relatively harmless complications related to getting food into his system. Like all the people on that side of my family, including myself, he has a very strong gag reflex (no jokes), and kept coughing up the tube they put down his nose. The doctor was shocked that he managed to cough the tube all the way up to his mouth instead of through the stoma.

He's really getting a lot of use out of the laptop--I think getting him a more permanent arrangement with wireless internet will be even better. I generally don't IM, but I guess I should get in the habit.
