The Emotional Roller Coaster

I feel like I'm taking a long, scary ride on an emotional roller coaster and I know that I'm not the only one around here that feels this way.

I received a call at 9:30pm last night. Grandpa's surgery was cancelled again!

I guess even Dr's get sick too. His surgeon is home in bed with the flu.

Surgery has been rescheduled for Tuesday morning.

So once again, the emotional roller coaster continues.....

There is one good thing that comes from all of this. I'll get to spend my birthday tomorrow with my Dad by my side. That is my biggest blessing!




Hugs,
Kim

  2. I stopped in real quick cos i have been thinking about you and your dad all day long. What a gift that you can spend your birthday with him, but I know the waiting just has to take a toll on you both also.
    On Monday my Dad called me after seeing the heart specialist about his pacemaker...it was time for his 3 month checkup (we were in the middle of a attempted murder trial here) anyway at the appt. he was told that the upper part of his heart was not working and on Wed. he would be admitted into ICU to have his heart stopped and restarted, hoping that it would correct and become regular sinus rhythm. I didn't know what to do cos of the darn trial, but I decided of course dad was more important so on Wednesday at 630 he was admitted and they did the procedure. He did just fine, and the heart started working. It now beats 90 instead of 60 and all chambers are working. Of course the trial went on with out me, and while I was gone the defendant decided to take a plea. Dad and Mom were so glad I was with them. They are both 80 now and I could tell all the dr. info was pretty confusing to them. Today he comes home, and I am back at work. So....I sure understand what you are going through, and am sending you a most heartfelt hug and many prayers.

  7. Happy (early) Birthday!! And yes, I think it was fate that his surgery was cancelled so that you could spend your birthday with him. I hope you get at least one day to not worry about a single thing except you and him and eating good food and having a good time.

  9. Happy Birthday. I'm so sorry about the emotional roller coaster. I've thought of you often, as things have begun to get tougher with my father. You are a saint for how you've loved, protected, and cared for your dad. The love between you shines through.

    I'm glad that the surgery wasn't delayed for tooooo long. Thinking of you.

  10. We agree with Frankie that this was meant to be so you could enjoy your birthday with your dad. So please try to put the surgery out of your mind for one day and have a great celebration. We will be thinking about all of you next Tuesday too.
