Dad update...

My sister-in-law took Dad to the surgeon who inserted his port for his chemo. Tomorrow he will go in the hospital for an outpatient procedure to remove it. That makes him happy. Because he is so thin and bony, the port sticks out and everything rubs it, which is why it is infected now. We haven't been to our favorite catfish restaurant in at least a month, so If he feels ok, tomorrow night will be the night for that. I can't go because I am just a social butterfly. Some of us are going to the Aaron Neville Christmas show tomorrow night and to dinner. Saturday I will be going to an open house Christmas party at another friend's house. My, my,my.....such a busy social calendar!!!:) Personally, I could keep my butt at home in the recliner and be perfectly happy!

Dad's quack wouldn't remove the damn port...I had to threaten to get another quack! The damn ting was so uncomfortable dad could sleep at night and they had not used it for chemo in a year..the cancer was in remission..Dad was 82 years old ..and he wanted it OUT. We got 'er done after the big blow up..he slept better and even started gaining weight

Well, I waited with him from 10:30 til 1:30, when my brother came to get him to take him home. They had never even come to get him yet. Brother just called and said they got him at 2:30 and he is in recovery now. Dad is not a patient man and today, I don't blame him at all.
