We appreciate your good thoughts. Queensland is slowly cleaning up, mending our homes and our hearts. There is nothing that can stop the hurt from losing loved ones, but we will come through this with stronger spirits. Us Aussies are built tough!<br />The pictures you have used are as follows;<br /><br />*Toowoomba, the inland Tsunami that devastated everything in its path, that continued down the valley and where most of the people died and are still missing.<br />*Pretty sure the second one is in Brisbane city itself.<br /> Sorry to hear about your Dad.

It would be a very tough decision for him to have surgery or not. You are such a brave daughter to talk with him without showing how worried or scared you may be.
