House feels different without him being around. He's had a big operation today which we all were dreading, we knew it was coming, been confirmed its not cancerous whatever it is. The hospital have been very vague with us on what was actually wrong. He was in hospital a few months back, being treated for pains in his stomach, since he got out every night i've been living it up with him, going places, lads nights out, meals...

I've seen him tonight, supposedly they've cut out part of his major bowels? im not entirely sure, but hes stable and all has gone well, and he was talking to me when i visited, i held his hand hes conscious and the hospital assure us everything's fine and it went perfectly. Hes had an epidural in his back, which is keeping the pain under control, there was pipes, wires everywhere, was a very big shock to see him like that.

10 days he's going to be in, and 6 months to recover... this thread...i don't know why i'm posting... just a general my feelings. He's always been there for me, hes a big guy seems awful to see him in such a weak state. Seeing him like that makes me realize how much he means to me, and he's made me and set me up in life, made me the person i am.


Love ya dad.

At first I was like wtf why are you posting this, but I think I understand.

I hope all goes well.
Click to expand...

I wouldn't be as successful as i am today if it wasnt for his time and effort, hes always with me when i'm up and down the country playing he's like a brother to me...he bails me out of trouble when i need help. I couldn't live without him right now and its hard to see him in that state.

I can't wait to see him step through the front door again.
 
Its threads like that bring some of us more fortuante members back to reality with their own 'problems'.

Sorry to hear that, hope it all goes as best as it could!

And its nice to see a little 'hearts on sleeves' for once too.
 
know how you feel my dad had a big op a few years back and it was just weird

hope it al goes well for him
 
Been there, try not to let it trouble you. If it does, don't bottle it up the rest of your family and friends are there for you so posting that was a good thing :).
Ask the hospital staff anything you need to, tell your dad first though.

Chin up, best wishes to your dad for a quick recovery.

-- EDIT.
 
Hope it all goes well and he makes a good recovery. I can't imagine what it must be like to be in that kinda situation.

Best wishes :)

Edit: just realised the song I'm listening to at the moment is pretty apt - Creed - stand here with me. Give it a listen.
 
Speedy recovery to your dad neoni, went through the same a few years ago with my dad, he's been working since he was 15 as a steel erector and he developed a bad problem a few years ago with his back, his biggest worry was not being able to work and he has such a great work ethic. he was layed off work for six months and it bored him to tears. he's fully recovered now 64 years old and still hoisting steel beams for a living and teaching 20 year olds how to do it:)
 
Totally understand why you posted this, sometimes it's just good to get things off your chest.

All the best to your Dad, and i hope that he has a speedy recovery.
 
I completely understand how you feel. My dad had cysts on his bowel and had a large proportion of it removed a few years ago. The worst part is, as I imagine you will find it too, is seeing such a strong person wilt away and look ill. My dad was like macho man to me when I was younger but he got ill, looked skinny and pale and aged about 20 years in my eyes. He's never been the same since, he took it very badly and it really changed his personality and how he looks at things. It's hard to watch happening but it was the best thing to happen, if the procedure had not been done he wouldn't still be with us.
 
Hi.

My dad at 72 had 2 similar ops of bowel 'chopping' 12 months apart to remove a large lump and then smaller polups. He broke the record and was out in 6 days for the 1st one.

Extremley nervous times but all ok now (touch wood) as he's just had his 1st all clear scan.

He's just finished removing and replacing 300 paving stones so he seems ok ;)

Hope everything goes ok for you and your dad. :)
 
When my mum was in hospital when I was 16 my life was on hold so I know exactly how this feels. I really hope he makes a speedy and full recovery.

If he doesn't already know it then make sure you tell him what you told us about the way you feel.
 
Us old buggers are pretty resilient; he'll be fine and back home soon.

Might be nice if you let him know how much you love him ..... without getting too sentimental ..... sometimes we leave it too late.

All good wishes for a speedy recovery.
 
Been there, my dads had a major op and a heartattack a few years back, its a horrible feeling.

All the best mate, hope it goes well ! :)
