   Still asking for prayers and positive thoughts. Don't know when for sure, possibly today, Dad will be having second surgery. There is leakage and infection. When I went to see him last night, he was getting the first of 2 units of blood. He was in good spirits (as good as can be given the circumstances) and looked pretty good. He's weak and he starts sentences with "when I die...."

   Mom is at the hospital now, and I'm just waiting for the phone call that tells me what time the surgery is. Also got an email from my brother asking if he needs to fly to Phoenix. He's in Afghanistan. I honestly don't know how to answer his question.

   I know my writing is clipped and without much emotion... sorry alls, too much emotion brings on the tears and work is not a good place for those... know what I mean? :)

   Ask at the hospital if they think your brother should fly home. If you explain where he is they will be honest with you. I hope all goes well.

   So sorry OP for what you,your family and your dad are going through.Here's hoping and praying that he will recover,people are sometimes a lot stronger than they think.I don't know but since there is infection and your dad is talking about dying it might be a good idea to get things in motion regarding your brother coming down. Like I said I don't know,maybe ask your dad? I'm sending prayers and positive thoughts your way.

   OP, my heart and prayers go out to you, your mom and of course your dad. Serious smooches for dad. and as Polly's mum said, talk to the hospital. They will be in a much better place to let you know if you should contact your brother. Remember though, 2 things...

   1. Take care of yourself. You can't help anyone if you don't take good care of yourself.

   2. We're here for you. Always

    Thank you all ... !!!

    I did not visit Dad last night. I was simply exhausted and actually didn't feel it a good idea for me to be on the road; even for the 20 minute drive to the hospital. I went home from work and fell asleep. I plan to go tonight.... and Mom is sure to provide an update if anything changed since yesterday noon.

    Thank you all.... and Tigerpaw - you are not crazy. I feel the energy.

    How is your dad doing, OP? Did he and your mom like your hula performance on their anniversary?

    Dad is still in the hospital.. waiting for the docs to decide the next course of action. He currently has a hole in his belly... really. They took out a couple of staples and there is literally a hole in his middle. The doc pokes around in there daily. He's cranky so he's feeling better. He wants something done... anything that will get him better. I don't blame him.

    I did not dance for them, yet. I am waiting for him to go home and feel up to the party.

    I am tired... I try to get to see him every day; i missed a couple and feel bad. He apparently looks forward to my visits. I have no outlet for my emotional stress with this other than to cry... and the tears don't seem to appear at opportune times. Usually when I'm at work. Not a good place. My man-friend ... well we have a strange relationship when we only see each other on the weekends. we don't talk during the week.. it just sort of morphed into that. I really thought he'd call more often to check on my well being during this stuff with my dad. But, no. I haven't had the energy to discuss our relationship... it's got to happen soon. I'm just not happy.
    Sorry to go on for so long... just feeling all emotions right now.
