Update On The Old Man

MY DAD CONTINUES TO AMAZE. HE HAD EMERGENCY SURGERY THEY RIPPED OUT THE OPERTION FROM 4 MONTHS AGO AS THE FEMUR BONE BROKE TOTALLY AND THE OPERATION WAS A FAILURE.

HIS OPTIONS WERE FEW. THE SPECIALIST SAID THE MOST DANGEROUS BUT WOULD GUARANTEE MY DAD WOULD WALK IF THE OPERATION AND CANACER DO NOT KILL HIM. WELL MY MOTHER WAS TOLD BY MY DAD HE IS DEAD AS HE HAS BEEN SITTING IN A WHEEL CHAIR FOR 4 MONTHS.HE SAID OPERATE.

THEY TOLD US EXPECT THE WORST. 2 WEEKS IN THE HOSPITAL IF HE LIVED AS THEY HAD TO RIP OUT HIS HIP REPLACEMENT AND PREVIOUS PLATES BANDS ETC AND PUT A BRAND NEW HIP CEMENT A ROD TO HIS KNEE REPLACEMENT. IT TOOK 6 HOURS MY DAD WAS ANEMIC HAD 3 DOSES OF CHEMO NOT ONLY LIVED BUT SPENT 2 DAYS IN icu 2 IN A ROOM AND NOW IS IN REHAB

WE ARE ALL SHOCKED. THE ONLY NEGATIVE ISTHECHEMO HAS TO BE HALTED FOR NOW.ANDTHE CANCER HAS SPREAD ALL OVER BUT??I WILL NEVER COUNT HIM OUT ITS AMAZING MAN.

PRETTY COOL MY DAD.

I'm happy for all of you Jeff. Never underestimate the will to live.
Jeff, Boy your dad sure has been through alot and you are right he sure is a fighter. Happy to read he is doing well. It always makes me smile when you write how much he amazes you because I bet he feels your a pretty amazing son as well. This may sound kinda silly but I can feel the love the two of you share for each other from just reading your post. Have a great night. Shantel
THANKS SHANTELL.
Jeff,

I wish your dad one miracle after another. Those are hard to come by these days but it sounds as if he's been granted several of them. I know in a perfect world, he'd be healthy. But atleast he's still here, right? And you are a good son. That's probably one of the reasons he's still hangin' in there!

Take care!
You're a good son, Jeff. I can tell you have a special relationship with him.
Fantastic Jeff. I feel for you and your family. I hope that your Dad makes a full and speedy recovery. He sounds like an amazing man! He has alot of spirit and sheer hutzpa!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
thats just wonderful..just wonderful...our menfolk just get ,,grumpy,,,but your dad sounds like a greatman,,,poopie
Hey Jeff,

That is great news about your dad. Make sure they keep a close eye on his heart while using chemo, if they had done that with my dad he may still be here today.

Good luck and I will pray for your dad.
Your dad is amazing Jeff but you are even more amazing by the love you show him
