whiny baby tales

Today "should" be hip surgery day. I only say should as my dad's primary doctor's on call doc (confused yet?) decided that the masses in his lung need to be biopsied NOW. He didn't know we knew about them for the past what, six months? So...all three doctors should be confrencing today and hopefully this morning. I'm off to the hospital in a few minutes and will be there all day.

Pray, for the surgery, for my dad, and my mom. She's tired and weary already. And I have no clue when I'll be heading home.

Hey Daddy, it's your birthday!!! Happy birthday to you!!!!

I am really kind of glad that I was able to just postpone my trip to TX rather than totally cancel it. My sister called a bit ago with not so great news. Dad had his follow up on the CT scan from 2 weeks ago and it appears that after months of no change the spots on his lung have grown. And the incredible hip pain he's been having? Yeah, he's got a spot there now too.

The cancer doc wants to do a biopsy. Now I can't remember if July 17th is the actual biopsy or just the next appointment with the cancer doc and at that time they will schedule the biopsy. I wish my brain worked better.

I guess on an up note, his bladder surgery from last week seems to be working as he's not on a catheter. That follow up appointment was supposed to be yesterday but got rescheduled for July 11th, so I'll be able to go to that appointment with my Mom and sister.
