Good luck on the operation! I'll be thinking of you *hugs*

Sorry your parents have to fight so much... It was like that a lot at my home too, though more siblings than parents. I've heard at times that couples that get into little fights like that sometimes actually are more likely to stay together than break up. It's weird but maybe its true, or maybe its an urban myth... dunno?

Anyway, hope you recover ok, I'll be around to talk to if you need someone to keep you sane during recovery this weekend.
