My Dad

How much can one man take? It seems when my Dad is almost standing tall, he gets knocked back down. He has had heart and hip problems for quite a while. The Tuesday before Labor Day, we thought we were loosing him. It's tough to see your Father vomiting blood and extremely weak. We called 911 to take him to the Hospital and there we found out that he now has Lymphoma.

Tuesday morning after he came home from his Radiation and a Stress test, his hip popped out. That was the 3rd time in the past year. They tried to pop it back in the ER but it didn't work. The Dr. warned us of the risk in taking Dad to surgery but there was no other option.

Dad seemed rather disappointed that he woke in the recovery room rather then in Heaven. He was told he would probably always need to wear the brace to keep it from coming back out.

We brought him home today noon.
