Dad physically improving, but pain keeping him in bed and despair.

I visited Dad tonight.  He seemed encouraged some by the visit.

It seems like his surgery recovery might be going fairly well.  The issue is not that, but the severe pain he has from the catheter.  The severe pain and discomfort is causing him to be stuck in bed.
So he is feeling hopeless at times.
Hopefully the expected follow-up doctor appointments can be arranged, but getting to doctor with his pain and discomfort is a concern.
Hopefully the social worker tomorrow will have some insight.
