Dad had surgery for blockages in the arteries in both his legs last year.
One didn't quite "take" and they went in again. Apparently it still isn't
right; he's not getting enough blood flow down the leg. So on Monday
morning, May 1, they are going to insert a balloon to open up the artery.

Dad is approaching 81 years of age and I'm concerned about all these
invasive procedures (and anesthesia) at his age. Any spare purrs for a
successful outcome would be appreciated.

Purrs on the way. Also, wondering if perhaps local rather than general
anesthesia is an option, for a leg thing?
