Hope this transfusion helps your dad in his recovery.

I have no idea, but at least he finally got the blood transfusion and iron drip. He had a lot more colour in his face today. They also gave him an injection to prevent the fluid retention. But that worked a bit too well. This morning he had already lost 3 liters of fluids.
But the good news today is that he going to a rehab center tomorrow. There he can get better care and better physical therapy.
Today was a long day. With some not too intelligent customers. One came in to ask if we sell cork screws and one tried to pick a fight because we don't sell drills. But I finally tidied up the table in the store. I threw away a lot of things and ended up with a lunchbox sized container with things my father can sort and put away. Next week, if I have time, the workbench.
