Ha, just this morning my daughter said "Mum, why are you so stubborn"

tjt6768 · 14. Jul 2012, 16:10

he really is a very stubborn old fart...

Sticky, thanks for withdrawing the rolling pin threat.. For now :?

valval · 14. Jul 2012, 17:54

now we know where you get it from tony. the water tabs will help take some of the pressure off his heart dad ended up back in hospital after his op when he talked doc into cutting them back silly man just because they made him go more often hope your dad does better now and they sort him out you have enough to worry about val

tjt6768 · 14. Jul 2012, 18:01

thanks Val.

Well. Janet spoke to the doctors at nine. They've done another ct scan after suddenly starting to worry about his abdomen. It's very distended... They're talking possible surgery now
So, basically we are back in boston at the hospital. Dad looks shocking. He looks like he's having triplets his stomach is that huge. They've got tubes inserted all over.. It's very upsetting seeing him like that.
They're awaiting the second ct results now. Then they'll decide what to do. He could have a perforated bowel.
We are in the day room with mum.

X to everyone for the concern

stickywicket · 14. Jul 2012, 18:15

I'm sorry, mate. That sounds tough for you all. I'm thinking of you.

Numptydumpty · 14. Jul 2012, 18:21

So sorry Tony,
I know I can't help, but send you these, (((())))

tjt6768 · 14. Jul 2012, 18:41

thanks girls. I hope you know how much I appreciate it.

Still waiting to hear what's happening.....

Numptydumpty · 14. Jul 2012, 18:49

Tony, I'm sure there's nothing more you can do tonight.
I know it's hard, but you really should try to get some sleep.
Thinking of you,
Numpty

tjt6768 · 14. Jul 2012, 18:54

thanks hun.
These ain't the noisy comfortable of chairs lol.
A nurse has just popped in with drinks for us.. Said that the anesthetist has been to see Dad. A sure sign that surgery is going to happen... And to think, they wanted to sends him home the other day..
We all knew something more was going on.

Numptydumpty · 14. Jul 2012, 19:03

Yes, sorry Tony, I forgot you were at Boston hospital. Of course there wouldn't be anywhere to lay down there.
I hope they do something soon, the waiting must be hell.
Fondest wishes,
Numpty

tjt6768 · 14. Jul 2012, 19:09

I know I keep saying thank you but I mean it every time.
Yep.. The waiting is awful.
Mum & Janet have popped downstairs to the vending machine. I think a piece of chocolate would go down nicely at the minute

Yes, keep your strength up!
I once had a mole removed at Boston hospital.
I now go to Peterborough.
It must be late, I'm rambling.

All the best,

My thoughts are with you, your Mum, Dad, and Janet, Tony. I hope they've found out what's wrong with your Dad by now and have decided what to do, whether it's surgery or not. It's such a bad time when someone in your family is taken so ill. I hope you will manage to get some rest and sleep tonight.

tjt6768 · 14. Jul 2012, 20:28

it's not good.
They're rushed him to surgery. His bowel is thirteen cm large. They are probably removing a large portion.
He might not survive the op, it's major surgery and his heart isn't very strong.
It probably seems strange me posting like this but it's helping me process things just typing it out. I've tried saying it out loud but it'd not easy.

tjt6768 · 14. Jul 2012, 22:52

We are sat in intensive care unit family room.
Dad's sister and husband are here now too. They had come down to skeggy earlier today just to see him.
Think he should be out of surgery soon.

JuliaHod12 · 15. Jul 2012, 01:35

sending you the biggest hug ever Tony (((0))) and hoping all goes well xxx

hileena111 · 15. Jul 2012, 02:44

Tony mate giving you some big girly hugs,hope things go well.Mig

tjt6768 · 15. Jul 2012, 05:42

There has been a small light at the end of a bloody long tunnel.
Janet spoke to the doctor on ICU half an hour ago..
They have woke dad up.. I'm gob smacked. Was really not expecting that until tomorrow at the very least.
We are taking it as a very good sign BUT we know he's certainly not out of danger yet.
We are going this afternoon to see him. None of us have slept at all yet.

Thanks for reading..

stickywicket · 15. Jul 2012, 05:45

That sounds promising. Sleep now while you can, please, Tony. ((()))

Numptydumpty · 15. Jul 2012, 05:48

I'm so pleased you have some good news at last.
That bloody mindedness of your dad's is coming in useful now.
Wishing you well,
Numpty

tjt6768 · 15. Jul 2012, 06:08

again.. Thanks girls
Doubt I could sleep but will try soon

joanlawson · 15. Jul 2012, 07:47

Tony, I'm so pleased to hear that your Dad has come through the surgery alright, although I know you will still be very worried about him. I'm sure that he is being well cared for, and I hope he will make a good recovery.
You must be feeling completely drained today, so take care of yourself and get all the rest you can. We are thinking about you all.
Love Joanx
