I went to see my dad early this morning only to get a shock. he was now in the ICU. Seems he has many stones in his gall bladder. One or more may have passed through his bile etc etc. Details will be spared. But I just returned a few minutes ago from the hospital again and he is scheduled to see a surgeon soon and will be going in got removal of his gall bladder. then they say at least one week in rehab to assit him getting back on his feet with walking etc. So more prayers and still needed for him and especially for me in this stressful time. I'll be here for a bit then back to the hopsital. It's only a few miles away so I can visit the mandated 15 minutes then return for an hour and go back withoput much exspense etc. I wish to thank each and every member that has been praying for him and the rest of us here. the prayers are greatly needed as well as greatly appreciated. Thanks again friends na dothers here. This means so much to see all the warmth, well wishes, and prayers coming from this site.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I am sorry to hear that. I would surely include your dad and your family in my prayers. I hope he can recover fast after the operation and everything will be well for him in the coming days. And also for you as well, that things will be fine and there will be no more problems. Just be strong for your dad and for the rest of your family members. We are here as your friends praying for you all.

Glad to hear that they found out what is wrong with your dad. My husband and I have both had our gall bladders removed and went through the surgery well but we are not as old as your dad. I will be praying that his surgery goes well and he has a speedy recovery. Take care and God Bless!

This is sure a lot for you, and your family, to deal with, Grandpa Bob, and your dad too, of course. It seems when someone's in the hospital that things seem to change quite rapidly at times. I'm sorry to hear of this unexpected turn of events, and I'll continue to pray for you, your family, and your dad. Please watch your stress level, and try to take it easy as much as you can. There are so many here who are pulling for you, and your whole family, and I'm one among the many.

Dear GpaBob

I'm glad the hospital is close for you that you can come and go and see your dad and be supportive and not a major cash crunch for you to go back and forth.
I had a friend who had a relative in the hospital and was traveling an hour each way and she told me the gas cost was really eating into her budget.

I hope all goes well with surgery.

I had a friend who had a cousin get his gall bladder removed, it was a long process for his recovery, and he is a lot younger.

Ok, GpaB.

You are in my heart and prayers as is your dad.

Hope all goes well in surgery for him.

Mooch


myLot reputation of 98/100. webeishere (9348)   ranked 23 out of 25,435 in people  12 months ago

Thanks. It is nice being so close to 2 different hospitals he uses. the heart hospital is just 5 miles or so as well. So it's always nice to see that I can come and go when I please and not feel bad. Thanks again mooch.

You are so right the prayers ansd support from this site is fabulous!!! As far as gall bladder surgery it's not as bad as it sounds, I had it done in 1980 and I was so scared and never felt so all alone in my whole life but it went well and your dad will feel much better after it's all done. Anyone having had gall bladder attacks will support me when I say the pain is something out of this world. I have sad prayers for you and I will continue to do so. Thank You in being so faithful with an update. Take Care.


myLot reputation of 98/100. webeishere (9348)   ranked 23 out of 25,435 in people  12 months ago

No problem about the updates. Hell I get paid for doing this after all. HAHAHAHA!!! Guess you can tell my stress level is fine and I am back to my old funny humorous self. The amazing thing about the support is that a lot is also from members not on my list and very sincere as well. Once again thanks to ALL members here.
