This Time Is For Real

[Nomore1959]

So, got a call at 9:30 that he was going in for exploratory surgery. This has been a worry for a long time. He lost 3 ft of small intestine in '88. In that event he no longer has ab muscles. So in '05 the mesh let the instentine move and knot up. They did the same thing used the NT tube, remove the bile, and he was fine. This time it isnt getting any better. Took him in for surgey about 1:30 pm.

I just spoke to the drs asst. He just got out of surgery. Removed alot of scar tissue and everything looks to be good. They did not send any to pathology because there isnt any signs that it was a cancerous growth. He will be in recovery until at least 7 tonight.

I am relieved at this outcome, but it also made me realize that I dont have a plan for alot of things. Like money coming in if I have to miss work or what is going to happen to my mother, if she out lives him. I need to hold a meeting of the mindless to figure this shit out.

Glad to hear all seems to have gone well for your dad. At least now you can formulate a plan in the event any of those things happen. Maybe FMLA in the event you need to miss work? You are right though nicotine wouldn't do a thing to help your situation. Continued prayers for your dad!

Prayers my brother.

Hang in there and prayers do help

Prayers with you candi.

Thinking of you, man.

Update on my father.

They removed the scar tissue that was causing the bloackage in his GI tract. It was not sent to pathology, because it showed no signs of cancer. He still is in step down unit, no food, but sitting up and joking. So all good signs.

Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers.

That is good to hear Cando. Hang in there bro!

My Dad was admitted last night to the hospital with a blocked intensine. Of course my mother, not wanting to worry me, tells me at 11 pm, via text. When I go down in the morning to visit, she doesnt know his room number, because she doesnt know which hospital he is at. Why? Beacuse fukn Yale owns both hospitals in New Haven, "oh, he will be where ever we have room." Yeah great that helps. According to her, he will be out tonight. Nope he is going to be in for at least the next 48 hours. So, getting ready to leave work, now. Stressed yes, but nic free.

**note*** 602+1's in. Almost 2 trips around the sun and the shit thrown my direction, still lets the whisper in. Standing tall, keeping my word, and putting 100% of my faith in my brothers. This is what has worked, I will be damned if I will change now.

Congrats on the sixth floor.
Prayers for your dad my brother.
You have helped me so much during my times of desperation and have never let me down, always there when I need someone to talk to.
I tip my cap to you, you are a true example of how a leader/quitter should be.

Thank you. He is doing okay for what it is. The doctors are taking it one day at a time. Hoping the blockage clears when the bile is removed (sucking it out through a tube). So, time will tell. But on the upside my little brother didnt let anyone else know what was going on. Ie my 3 other siblings that live out of state. I love those convos....

CDI = Siblings: so I just visited dad in the hospital he is doing well.
Sib 1 = Wait.... He is in the hosiptial?? Since when???

Smoothed that over with them but life goes on. I thought of Teray and Tramagent and what they go through and keep their word. This is life and nicotine will never make it better.
