SUPER FANTASTIC...
I went in this morning and I met with the Nephrologist that I had last seen three years ago. I was expecting the worst case scenario as there has always been a fear of my father having to be placed on dialysis or the cancer coming back, or another stroke. On a fools day, I me with the Dr. Visvanathen and surprisingly he was pleased to see me.
There are some reasons for this but it’s was nice and like a breath of fresh air to see that we could shake hands and he explained to me exactly what he was doing.
He asked me if I ever did go into the medical field – there is some reason for that, but I had told him where I had been and then we just sat down and he brought out his pen
and told me what he was doing.
The entire mechanism that he has assembled around his abdomen would be replaced. He mentioned to me that it was amazing that for some four years that he has
maintained the same functionality with his one kidney while the other is there but does not work. He said that they had decided that with all things considered they
were going back in and replacing the entire mechanism as he has been an atypical encounter to what they have seen within Neuphrology.
He was all ready for the operation and he said “I bet your surprised, and Jack I am not playing no joke on you”. I told him of the decline in weight but he came
back and said all in all that really the man should not be alive.
So he asked if he has the right to go ahead with it, as well as he said that he well remembers when I brought him in by way of emergency and we we
both smiling. So then I went over to my father’s room where I had no clearance for taking a picture as I have before, but my father just said lets get it done.
So he is well, I called on my cell my mother she was relieved and she could have the entire morning to herself sleeping in. And not being worried as as a
reflex which has always happened during these times she is so worried on how to tend to the financial things in the case of the worse.
The operation took a total of merely two hours. And right now he is on an IV as well as two medications which are anti viral after the procedure with his
stints and all. So things worked our well for him.
As for myself, I took the time to be re acquainted with some of the people as this is one of a few hospitals here.
For those of you that are friends from long ago - I still wish you the best and it's a good day worth sharing. I headed over to see how my mother was doing thereafter
have had some pictures on here that I have not place on for some times so I shall.

I'm happy to hear things went well for your dad and the family can kick back a little. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Wren that does mean much to me....especially from someone that is so close and I think you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteThey. Thank you very much one that knows so much on certain areas as I think you know what I mean. Thank you.
Good news is always a pleasure to share, Jack. Hope your father continues to do well and heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteGlad things worked well.
ReplyDeleteThank you GA....it was two days of just hoping...thank you. He will, the man just keeps on going. Most would think that he would have been gone by now.
ReplyDeleteYes they did Lyn...
ReplyDeleteSo it's all balanced for them. I am glad for that. Ironically the day at one of the three hospitals here that I used to know so many with all his medical ordeals really made it a pleasure - I was not expecting that. Not at all...
A very long wait with not knowing how things would go.
ReplyDeleteAfter knowing I was fine with it all Lyn. Some don't wish to know on matters as such and then I believe that when you do know and are informed it gives way to planning and that is much more relaxing - believe you me.
ReplyDeleteGood news indeed Jack....all the best to your father for a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteThanks much Aaron...
ReplyDeleteMay you get more news like this as your father goes through the post-operation process.
ReplyDeleteThank you Doug - he shall and now everyone can relax. Right now I know tomorrow when I see him if there is any baseball game on or even if there is a station that is playing any games he will be watching it. I don't follow it but it's something he loves.
ReplyDeleteDelighted to hear that the operation went well. Wishing him a speedy recovery .....
ReplyDeleteLove and Light
Annette - thank you very much. Love and light must be an energy plus source - may I ask?
ReplyDeleteRegardless thank you. And from here in the western portion of Canada where one can open a window now - good day and thank you. I may be flying over the weekend, it all depends on how things are as I will there to visit him and then make my decision from there.
Peace and thank you....
fly safe, travel safe, be safe !!!!!!
ReplyDeletelove and light (have always ended blogs and comments with this phrase) - it is not meant to be religious at all, just meant to be a positive and uplifting statement
It's very nice...
ReplyDeleteAs of today I will not be leaving as I have a meeting tomorrow that seems to be of good value. "Love and Light", it's a nice saying Annette...
I do hope.. this will do much to make his sunset years.. pain free.. and ones that he can enjoy!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately something happened friend.
