Things Happen

I used to place nearly everything on here up to a certain time. Some of you may know and some of you may not. That is my father is a stage 4 non hogkins survivor as well as there are many other things which came his way. I just returned from the hospital as I went and took my father into emergency. So I am on call as when I arrived to thier home he thought that there was something happening. I don't place all that much as it's that of a personal nature but I just arrived home after I was told to go home as for the last four hours I have been in emergency with my father. He is a stage 4 survivor of over ten years - couple with a host of some other medical areas which include his renal function as well as several relapses.

Those which have known me know that there are people within my life which I do dedicate myself with. Right now he is going through CTScans and this is not the first of which this has taken place. The man literally was the reason I came back into Canada and well it's a story of it's own. Right now I ensured that all was well with my mother and then called my brother and the feeling is that it's good that he took the choice to go in as within internal medicine, oncology, and nephrology they can sort things out.

There was a time where I had walked in his home some five years ago and he was bleeding from the male part. So bare with me as here it's a holiday weekend and as he is a very adamant man when it comes to his mortality. Our family, and I await to see as to what is the outcome.

I do believe within faith. I don't place pictures on as I had in the past. But with all that said, your thoughts and prayers are appreciated. Sometimes we can't place an understanding within it all. But what I have found paramount is that of good will.

So I shall know much more within a few hours and for myself, I place family over and above other things. But this was not anticipated yet things do happen. Count your blessings and don't fret on the areas of which you can render.

Thanks much,

 

Jack

  5. I am human and this came again so unexpected Carol. She is ok and as best as can be. Yet I wish I knew earlier like two days ago all
    of what was happening as it seems renal (kidney). But two years ago he was taken in and they did a tremendous job on his meds and
    all - that is internal medicine and this might be the same situation. As for his GP, I think it's time for a change. But for now on a holiday
    weekend it will be good later to find out more and even if he is in there for a while - that is not bad as long as he is getting the best.
    So we shall see. I called my brother and for now am going to see how things turn out.

  6. No one can anticipate or plan these things.. They are life things.. and I can totally understand your situation as I spent the better part of five years caring for my own father..and spending the last month of his life with him.. and holding him in my arms as he died of heart failure in his home.. My thoughts of strength and resilience are with you .. as well as what can only be felt as a connection of acceptance, of what is beyond anyone's control..... I am sure your father has a peacefulness knowing you are there with him and for him.. It's all he really needs.. believe me.. everything else is in other hands..

  7. Thanks Rosie you know it's very unfortunate that most all of his side is gone now and yet he is the youngest but ironically I feel that my mother could use some self time. So if it's not of Cancer relapse, then there is a remedy and it's not for me to say a week but the last time he spent a week with internal medicine they worked wonders. So I do thank you and not down here just a tad tired. But hugs and thank you.
    I never will nor shall again take a picture within a hospital of him again. I believe in privacy with some things.
    Thanks...and an embrace from here to there.

  15. it's been a mandate and yet it's not as if there is a denial but we shall see how all goes. I am within a position of support yet it's not as easy as it seems years earlier it was much easier to tend to many of these things and now I admit that this does come within a time of which one never can predict.

  16. Thank you Grammy as I have been on my own pathway but yet I have called those within the family and of recent he was very angry - where at that time I thought that it might have to do with his kidneys as that can set on off.....it's something of which in time I shall be more able to write on but it did have an impact. But this is were I truly do render faith not within need but within a calming manner. To know what is happening is far better than not knowing...so I accept it. I am not sure if that is the right manner of mentioning this. Yet I have been here before full knowing what the pros and the cons are.

  18. In arriving back after the hospital - things were not as terrible as expected. He had a full set of CTscans on his back and as he can not take any more chemo if he does have movement of a small left over dormant cancer. It came to be that he had made a small rapture within his back. So for a long weekend this certainly was a long day to say the least and I thank you all. As his kindneys one of which operates without the need of dialysis at 38% and his dormant cancer is still dormant - but he merely ruptured his back and all is well yet a long day it's been to say the least.

    Yet I do thank you.

  20. Oh I do but I am much too tired as I was up late last night and Grammy it is good news but I do have to call it a night. Tomorrow here is a holiday so I shall do some catching up. No down but you go from that high alert to then a calm and there are full days and then there are FULL Days. So again thank you.

  23. Thank you Theresa from what I know of this morning he is full well and out at the mall. All I know is that seemingly he had a back which he was offered medication of a narcotic kind and he choose not to take.
    In ways I can see his point and choice. And for a holiday Monday here. I just arrived in and hour ago.

    I shall write on this but within a later time.
