Dad's surgery....updates...
Well, dad's surgery has been post-poned pending cardiac clearance. It's my fault, I raised concern that he has been through so much lately that I thought it would be safest if he had his heart checked out. Well...after much pondering, the docs made an 11th hour decision to cancel the surgery for today and admit dad to the hospital and do a stress test tomorrow and make sure his heart is strong enough for surgery. Dad isn't the happiest camper in the world that I interfered, but I have to look out for his best interest and my view is what's the use in taking out the cancer if your heart stops working or you have a bad stroke and can't function anyway? At least now I'll feel better knowing that they checked him head-to-toe and made sure he was good to go before surgery. SO, he's probably not going to have surgery until Thursday if the stress test is negative.
I'll post any new updates that I have as soon as I know. As far as I am going...I haven't slept in 2 days and I fell into a bowl of mac and cheese and chocolate. I need it. I won't beat myself up for it. I'll be better tomorrow. But I need the comfort foods and chocolate today.
Thanks for all of your support and prayers, please keep them coming. I hope that the stress test is negative so that we can get that cancer out and get dad on his way to healing ASAP.
