Title: Very sad Post by: tim_m on June 04, 2009, 06:27:54 AM I know some of you have noticed i havent been around. A lot has been going on. First, im in the hospital. Im posting this from my phone. I ended up getting a bad bed sore. Ive been here 15 days and am about to go nuts and don't know how much longer ill be here. Then on monday my dad saw a surgeon about his hernia. He told the dr about all his complaints. So the dr checked him out and found a mass in his lower left abdomen. He had a ct scan tuesday. My sister who works for the dr my dad saw first brought home the scan report. Its really bad. There is more than one mass. Its likely colon cancer. We will find out for sure today and see where we go from here. This has beeo a rough few weeks for me. Landing in here and facing the very likely fact i will lose my dad in the near future. Please keep us both in your thoughts and i hope ill be back soon.

Title: Re: Very sad Post by: lynn1961 on June 05, 2009, 02:33:44 AM That's good. But, really, what's up with you? Why have you been in the hospital this long, yourself?
Title: Re: Very sad Post by: Sin Cut on June 05, 2009, 03:13:38 AM Best wishes to you, Timothy25, and your family.
Title: Re: Very sad Post by: tim_m on June 05, 2009, 05:35:35 AM Sorry i cant quote text with my phone. Whoever asked why ive been in the hospital so long. Its because my bed sore was infected and almost down to the bone. They dont want to let me go until its filled in and not deep. They dont want me to end up right back here.

They dont want me to end up right back here. why were you there in the first place? I mean bed sore doesn't come by itself (unless you play a lot of wow while lying down).

Title: Re: Very sad Post by: estebanf on June 07, 2009, 11:16:33 PM best wishes to you and your dad man. I dont know how much time does that cancer exist in your father's organism, but if its something relatively recent, there's a lot that doctors and chemotherapy can do to save your father's life.
You need to have faith and never give up, and you'll see how things will be ok. God bless you. Title: Re: Very sad Post by: tim_m on June 10, 2009, 03:44:10 AM Thanks guys. It looks like dad will be having the surgery on friday. Ill keep you updated. Im also getting out of the hospital so i can see him after surgery. Im so glad i wont be stuck here unable to see him.
Title: Re: Very sad Post by: tim_m on June 11, 2009, 06:41:52 AM Well things have changed since my last update. They are going to do surgery on me called a skin fold and they want to do a bone biopsy cause they think the bone may be infected. If it isnt infected ill be here another 4wks. If they find it is it will be 6wks. Wish me luck! As for my dad it looks like his surgery will be next week.
Title: Re: Very sad Post by: ppbebe on June 11, 2009, 02:50:27 PM Wish me luck! we do! Here you have people wishing you the best. :peace: Title: Re: Very sad Post by: bodine on June 11, 2009, 02:57:38 PM Hang in there man!

Title: Re: Very sad Post by: Albert S Miller on June 12, 2009, 12:26:52 AM I'm lending some of my healing power to you and your father, I am not using mine at this time, my own toe is better, lol. A little humor is sometimes nice, seriously though, the best of luck to you both, and best wishes for a speedy recovery :).
Title: Re: Very sad Post by: tim_m on June 18, 2009, 03:19:53 AM Well a lot has happened since my last update. I had my surgery on friday and it went well. I am healing well so far and there is no bone infection. Ill probably be here 3 more weeks. Dad had his surgery tuesday. It went well and there was no sign it spread. Unfortunately the good news didn last. Just hours later he had a massive heart attack. He had near total blockage in 3 arteries. They put in stents to open and clear them. He made it through the first 24 hrs which was critcal. He was doing better. They might remove his breathing tube today. Please continue to keet him in your thoughts and prayes.
Title: Re: Very sad Post by: jacdaniel on June 18, 2009, 04:32:18 AM We all will :)

Glad to see things are looking brighter for you and your dad Timothy. Keep your chin up my friend!Title: Re: Very sad Post by: tim_m on March 03, 2010, 07:23:04 PM Well unfortunately my dad isn't doing so well again. He has a few serious problems right now. First his foot has been swollen and cold. He had to have tests done on it today and they found blood clots. He has also been having chest pains that go into his arm and shortness of breath. They gave him nitroglycerine to put under his tongue when he has the pains to prevent heart attack. He has to go for an angiogram on tuesday. They're gonna look at his heart and his foot. The angiogram will give them a better look at things. After that they will decide what to do next. Ok so he had his angiogram this morning. There was new blocks on the other side of his heart. They put in 3 new stents and did an angioplaste. The blocks on the other side haven't worsened so they ddin't mess with them. They said if his heart continues the way its going he will need open heart surgery. They are keeping him overnight for observation and we are unsure how long he will be off work or what he will be able to do when he goes back. The dr said they'd decide on that when he's raedy to go back. He was in good spirits during the procedure and awake for most of it. He was joking with the dr's and nurses. The nurse swears he fell asleep but he denies it eventhough he was snoring. We still don't know about his foot yet. We will know more about that when he sees the cardiovascular surgeon on thursday.
Title: Re: Very sad Post by: Axl4Prez2004 on March 03, 2010, 07:45:46 PM I'm sending out positive thoughts. Just soak in every second you have with loved ones...it's great advice for everybody. :peace:
Title: Re: Very sad Post by: D on March 03, 2010, 08:08:20 PM Spend every moment u can and please, say everything u've ever wanted to say.
Lost my dad 2 years ago and i wish i had 5 minutes to say stuff i never got to. Positive thoughts your way and hope things turn out for the best. Title: Re: Very sad Post by: tim_m on March 03, 2010, 08:58:23 PM Thanks guys :)
Title: Re: Very sad Post by: D on March 03, 2010, 09:15:15 PM Thanks guys :) Your dad needs a great support system. my dad knew the changes he needed to make, but after 40 plus years of living wrong, he just couldn't flip the switch and live right. so if yours can just do the diet, take the meds etc.. he can have a lot of time left. Title: Re: Very sad Post by: tim_m on March 03, 2010, 09:32:29 PM He takes his meds. His diet is getting better. Its a lot better then it used to be.
Title: Re: Very sad Post by: GypsySoul on March 03, 2010, 09:43:36 PM He was in good spirits during the procedure and awake for most of it. He was joking with the dr's and nurses. The nurse swears he fell asleep but he denies it eventhough he was snoring. That's so funny because my dad also denied he was snoring during his last angio. :hihi:It seems like every other year my dad has to go through this too. These procedures are awesome and I pray that it fixed everything for your dad.... but know that even if somewhere down the line that open heart surgery might be needed that the recovery time is only a few weeks and the successful results are nothing short of amazing!!! Your dad sounds like a great guy with a great attitude (and a great son, of course). Know that you and your dad continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. :) Title: Re: Very sad Post by: tim_m on March 03, 2010, 09:55:25 PM He was in good spirits during the procedure and awake for most of it.

Yeah he was arguing with the nurse about it. Nope i was a awake. I just had my eyes closed. Nurse but you were snoring. I hope that it did too. I know that. I just worry about him making it through the surgery with an already weakened heart from his two massive heart attacks. I was actually surprised by how good his spirits were through the procedure. Its not usually like him to be cracking jokes like that. I'm guessing its his way of dealing with being scared. Thank you :) Title: Re: Very sad Post by: Chief on March 04, 2010, 02:36:41 AM All the best to you guys.. this sucks! i hope he recovers!!
Title: Re: Very sad Post by: tim_m on March 04, 2010, 03:06:51 AM Thanks man!
Title: Re: Very sad Post by: Jdog0830 on March 04, 2010, 01:51:09 PM Sorry to hear what been happening to your dad Timothy25.
My prayers are with you man just make the best out of the time you get. Joe Title: Re: Very sad Post by: tim_m on March 04, 2010, 07:55:46 PM Well dad saw the vascular surgeon today. He has to go back in the hospital on the 17th. They're gonna put stents in his foot for the clots and see how it goes from there. It kinda concerns me that this won't be done for almost two weeks but it was the next time the doctor is available to do it.
Title: Re: Very sad Post by: inlikeflynn420 on March 04, 2010, 08:39:48 PM Sorry to hear about what's going on. Hearing your story puts some things in perspective for me -- and for all of us, really. You never know what's gonna happen, so just enjoy what you can from each day as it comes. I'll be rooting for you and your dad. Stay positive.
Title: Re: Very sad Post by: Jdog0830 on March 05, 2010, 02:06:21 PM Tim you got to be carefull with those doctors though.
They will try to get your dad in one of those rehibilitation places to live. Those places could get him killed from just the desises there. Also they even hire convicts to watch those people. I know all this from the experences I had to go though with helping my grandparents with my parents. And also in my family there are a few nurses that also gave us good information. Joe Title: Re: Very sad Post by: Albert S Miller on March 05, 2010, 11:46:46 PM Many prayers sent your way Timonthy. Your father seems to be a fighter, it seems quite the miracle in itself to survive the two massive heart attacks. Wishing the best for you, and a safe recovery for your father.
Title: Re: Very sad Post by: tim_m on March 06, 2010, 12:08:33 AM Many prayers sent your way Timonthy.

Thank you, yes he is really fighting all this hard. Definitely, to just barely make it out of surgery to remove the cancer without having the heart attacks. Title: Re: Very sad Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on March 06, 2010, 04:10:34 PM I wish your dad well. It's so hard seeing a loved one suffer.
