Worried... Needing Distraction While I Wait to Hear.

I feel Squinney;when my dad had a stroke I was devastated. Good wishes from Fla.

Squinney--

Love at long distance is very difficult. Objectively it doesn't matter whether you're sweating it out in the surgical waiting room or in your living room halfway across the country, but subjectively you feel much more helpless halfway across the country.

You are in my thoughts.

(((((( hugs to Squinney and her dad )))))))



now, distractions. hmmm, where's littlek with her niece's knock-knock jokes when you need her?

Thanks, all.


ehBeth - If they are anything like our kids knock knock jokes I'll be spending the rest of the day trying to figure out what the punch line meant. hehe... Hey, that might work!

knock knock








(i'm not littlek, but i can be resourceful)

Um, hold on a minute, I'm not dressed...









Okay, who's there?

<<<hugs squinney>>> (PS uh, that's not part of the joke :-D)

((((HUGS)))) Sending positive thoughts to you and your dad!

Hugs and good thoughts.

Any news yet?

Positive healing vibes being sent his (and your) way...

Me too, bunch a bear hugs...

Yikes! I remember that feeling Squinney, my dad went through it a couple years ago. It all happened so fast, but surgery day was looooong. I even tried to give blood while I waited....

When caught early (and, if I remember my numbers, his sounds like it was), it is so treatable! Good vibes going to your dad..... and you.

oh! I can't remember any of Silvi's k.k. jokes.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((Squinney and Dad))))))))))))))))))))))

Keeping my fingers crossed that everything works out well for your dad, Squinney. It sure is hard watching your parents get older, isn't it?

((((HUG))))

Hang in there, Squinney.

Thinking about you and your dad, squinney. Keep us posted when you can.

Wow! I knew you all would come through for me. You're all the best!!

Finally got a call around 5:30 pm. It is in the lymph nodes already, so they closed him up and didn't do anything. My step mom said they are going to try estrogen therapy to shrink the prostrate, (currently the size of a tennis ball) but I'm not sure if that slows the growth that is already lymphatic. Waiting to hear from my sister, who is a resp. therapist, with more medical explanation of what is happening and the general outlook.

Yes, it IS scary watching them age. Sixty three use to be OLD, but once I turned 40, it didn't appear to be so old afterall!! Funny how that happens. :wink:

Thank you, again to everyone. If you have any info or experience with this, please share.

Damn.

Hope therapy works good.

More hugs.
