Not looking forward to tomorrow...
I really didn't want to bring this up here on the forum, but my dad is going in for major surgery to remove a blockage in his small intestine. He had a routine colonoscopy a few weeks ago and they found a blockage. The biopsy showed it was cancerous, but they don't know how far it has spread until the blockage is removed. I've known this for a few weeks, but keep tellling myself that everything is OK. He's 72 year's old and has never really had any health problems. My mom passed away eight year's ago, two months before dad was going to retire. I'm closer to my dad, than I was to mom and sometimes I feel guilty that I wasn't around enough when she was sick. I'm thinking the worst, but I know many people who have had the same cancer and made a complete recovery. Still, I'm scared that it won't go well tomorrow. He also has high blood pressure and they discovered he has a heart mummer, but it won't affect the operation. I've made a lot of friends on this site the past year, if you can; say a prayer for my dad tomorrow. He wants to make it to the Spa meet in a few weeks...I hope he can too! Thanks to all...Mark

best of luck to you and your father, hope everything goes well!
as for your mom, don't feel guilty--you shouldn't feel guilt for something you didn't do. guilt is for those who did something bad, we always think we weren't there enough, even if you're there plenty. i doubt your mother would agree with you!
