Yummy on the cookies. Boo on the charting.

Thanks for asking.
Compared to last week he is good. Big picture not good.
He was at Mayo this past week getting tested by Urology and Nephology. He is now at home waiting for an appointment from Oncology.
Widespread cancer. It's in every bone, lymph nodes and a few organs. Waiting for test results to find out what kind of cancer and if its even treatable and what kind of timetable he has.
Last week I was able to spend a good chuck of time one on one with my dad. It was good to hang out with him as we had lots of good conversations. Some of our conversations were easy and fun and others were very difficult/emotional. I am glad I/we had/have the chance to do such things.
I have dealt with issues of this nature with friends and such but never a loved one. Now that I am home and back into my routine I am just trying to come to grips of what has transpired over the past couple weeks. There are moments in which I am ok and other moments in which I struggle. It is what it is and I accept it. I don't like it but it's life.
F U cancer!

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #162: Love Is In the Air
sounds as though it's thoroughly in there... has he been getting annual check ups with his dr? had he been feeling icky for a while and man'd up. or this just "blam" out of thin air all of a sudden?

Hang in there g. Cancer definitely sucks. For what it's worth, know that you are among friends here. Maybe we're only good for moral support, but we're here nonetheless.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #162: Love Is In the Air
Yesterday pretty well sucked. It started off well enough, but then went downhill quickly. Got into work, validated an application's deployment into production, and it worked as designed. Great. Woo hoo. I get some information from the central depository people, and things are looking up even more. Then at 8:30 I get a phone call from the nursing home to tell me that my mom has suffered either a stroke or heart attack, but they don't know. She was walking from breakfast to her room with a staffer, then she suddenly screams out, grabs her chest, goes stiff as a board and falls over with weak, ragged breathing. More staff comes running to her, move her to her room and get her in bed. Then she started to turn blue. That's when they called me. With the weather slowing down all the traffic, I made my way over to the LRT and get down to the station next to the Mall of America where one of my brother picks me up, he'd been working in Excelsior at the time. I finally get down to the nursing home at about 10:00 and she's making a comeback, her color returning and breathing returning to normal.
At around 12:30 or so, after my mom's now sleeping, high on morphine and calmed with atavan, my brother and I stop by the funeral home to start arranging things there. Two major health events in seven weeks time, it's definitely time to get those sorts of things in order.

gmann and Clown - what a crappy time for both. So sorry to hear of your situations. I know it's hard to stay strong in times like these but know you are among friends here in tLodge so if you need to unload, you can do so.

Not sure how aggressive things are at this point. However, my dad has not been to a doctor in 25 years. Which is stupid. Very stupid. (My dad is 63 years old)
My dad had Polio as a child and had a very traumatic experience with doctors and hospitals. Since that time he has absolutely hated doctors and hospitals. Again, stupid and irresponsible but it is what it is.
Every doctor so far has mentioned that the basic tests associated with physicals and annual check ups would not have revealed what's going on (doctors in both Hilton Head and Mayo). One doctor even stated that my dad coud have had two check ups per yer and nothing would have been caught based on the basic test results. But............based on the cancer being in the bones he has had this for a while and even if the test results didn't come up with anything he had to have had some other symptoms or issues which would have led to looking into things further.
My dad said he as felt ok up until early January. He stated that it was not until late January when things really started to become bad. He was admitted 2/6. He drove and then walked into the ER with a red blood cell count of 3. Anything less than 7 is critical. Plus he had renal failure. His body was only functioning on 10% of the usual blood supply. The Doctors were amazed he was alive let alone walking and talking. The doctors did not expect him to live more than 24 hours after being admitted.
Edit. Sorry to hear clown

My niece will be playing during an intermission for a Gopher women's game next weekend. She is going bananas with excitement. She just started playing this winter, and the Gophers are her heroes. Especially with the season they are having.

Not much good news in the Lodge, watching ones parent(s) fade away is tough. I've never dealt with cancer but I know all about Dementia and Alzheimer's. Its not an easy thing to face. Wish you guys the best, its about all one can do.

I'm ready to put up our women's team against half the men's teams out there.
I'm looking at their numbers, and it's insane.

Any time your KRACH has to be displayed in scientific notation, you're on to something good.
