Man it never ends
My father faces a rough operation tomorrow and today I find out last night my Sister in Laws Father who has been fighting kidney disease at 79 (And getting better) well turns 80 and had OPen heart surgery late this morning. He is hanging by a thread.
My Grandmother is quite Ill.
Our whole family is just messed up.
I just want tomorrow to be over. Spoke with my Dad and he is worried. Never heard him this scared about anything since Federated Dept Stores went bankrupt in1986
Tired of all this crap. Really Tired.

It seems that you are just carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You can only do so much. You are an awesome son.
Wish I could offer some sort of great advice but sometimes it just doesn't matter does it? Life is not fair, especially when things start going downhill with our families and loved ones.
I will definitley pray for you and yours tonight and keep your dad, mom, and you in my thoughts tomorrow.
We'll talk soon hopefully.
Love

Jeff:
So sorry to hear what you and your family are going through right now. My thoughts and prayers are with you. There have been times in my life where it was several trumatic things all at once. Its like, maybe I could handle one of these issues, but all of them at once? It takes a toll. Be kind to yourself, keep putting one foot in front of the other. Let us know how you and your family are doing and keep talking to people, that helps so much. It's especially scary when its a parent. Although I haven't lost a parent yet, just the thought freaks me out. And you said you'd never really seen your Dad scared before, that alone is scarey for you i'll bet, It would be for me, its like a role reversal - you're comforting him, and reassuring him. It seems though your family is close, please update us and let us know how you're doing too.

thats alot jeffery...................
i am sorry.........
i made a new post to you yesterday, because i was thinking of you ....
i hope your not mad at me........
i have always been honest with you..............
i just read this post here........and thats so much on your heart, alot of worry !
and i know its hard when you worry about your parents,
i worry about my mom until i get sick.
my mom has gotten mad at me about this..
i will call her and if she does not call me when she gets home, i will
keep calling and drive home to see of she is ok...
God forbid she is in the hospital.........
i have to watch myslef so that i am not snappy with the staff...
i mean i actually have to go in the bathroom and pray for a good attutide...
like for example, when some one is getting ready to start and IV........
i will say..........."you got one try, so get it right, this is my mom, not a learing experience so if you dont know what your doing go get someone that does."
now that sounds terrible.........
but who cares.......
this is MY mom and i can hear the nurses in the hall, saying her daughter works here and she is getting on my nerves........
when i was younger i would of walked in the hallway and confronted them about THAT comment...........lol
if things dont happen like i want i 'll go in the hall grab the book and page the doctors myself.......get the orders, hand the phone to the nurse......
i get nuts......after wards i have to come back and tell everyone sorry...
and to please forgive me.........they always do....thank God.
so i have the same coursety for staff and nurses when their loved ones have surgery, i break all the rules for them to be there right when they get out of surgery and i have them to recover them...
i only ask the family not to stimulate the patient so i can recover them slowly and gently...no talking or touching, until they are stable......if the family member is a nurse i will get them involved in the recovery and let them hook the patient up and i will ask her to call out all my IV lines so i can write it down...
and it helps them to feel better........
so..............
i understand ! and praying 4 your parents.............
love ya

Have a good day Thumper
Jeff
Assuming no infection in the next 3+ days he heads home one more recovery 1-2 months and his life is back in his hands.
He will never be the same but considering he should be worm food its quite amazing his adventure.

THUMPER BABY its --------"JEFFREY" Not Jeffery
My dad is in a lot of pain as its just 24 hrs since operation finished--on a "THE PUMP"
God I love that Pump---Dad is doing GREAT pain is bad so they have kept the pump in. Thumper basically the man has had his insides ripped out. Not once but twice and ??? how many self afflicted catherizing.
His story just makes me a stronger person and man. I was always in "AWE" of my father but he in turn told me " I am the best salesman He ever met and well he is amazed at what I have done since the day they rolled me over from the gurney DEAD-blue all over and well he my Dad that night got me to the ER just in time.
My parents said that my disease the asthma came at a time where my parents were not in the best of places and my illness solidified there UNION--Make sense?
I did not see him today as he was adamant about me staying at work. My Mom is Okay so I listened for third or fourth time in 44+ yrs and stayed at work.
I called the Head Nurse to make sure his IV,s are checked as My dads veins need to be checked.
And i spoke to both doctors--Very Happy ---F-in ecstatic--
About time my old man caught a break --and of course My MOTHER.
How you doing miss Thumper?
Jeff
P.S God Life can be really GOOD
