It was a week ago yesterday that Dad Mahin had his outpatient surgery in Salina, Kansas. Surgery was supposed to start at 11:30 AM but due to longer than expected operations in the OR than anticipated, Dad was finally wheeled into surgery atl 4:30 PM. Mom & I finally reconnected with him a little after 6 PM. Since it was so late they did keep him overnight to observe his blood sugar and possible bleeding at the surgery site.
They will not close/remove the chest dialysis port until they are sure the arm port will work. The arm port will not be used until the surgery site has completely healed. It could be weeks until they actually try to do dialysis in the arm port.
Dad has been dealing with a lot of weakness since the surgery; so please, Keep Praying. Phone Calls really encourage him.
More Later.

We have been wondering, so thanks for the update. Tell your dad he is in our prayers and give him love and best wishes from Doug and me.
Our oldest, Karmen, is engaged to be married Jan 15. I've been looking over pictures of my wedding, at which your dad officiated. Happy times.
