Upcoming appointments

In about a week, my Dad has an appointment with the surgeon to see how things are progressing. If things look good, they'll set up a surgery date to reattach my Dad's colon. He's really wanting to get this done as quickly as possible. I know that he'd appreciate prayers that the surgery can be done soon. For one thing, he's tired of the limitations........And for another, the supplies for the colostomy are very expensive. He told me that he'd be happy if the surgeon just told him "Hey, looks good . . . . Let's cut tomorrow". That's not likely........but you get the idea. So, prayers would be appreciated.

Thank you all!

Your dad is in my prayers! Please keep us posted.

And good for your dad for being smoke-free! I know that is a really hard thing to do.

Congrats Dad!!
Prayers for him are coming from Canada.

Congrats to your dad!! I've always heard that smoking is a really hard habit to break.

My Dad also just celebrated one month of being smoke-free , after having smoked since he was 12 years old!

That is great, Savannah! He is in my prayers. And congrats. on him being smoke free! Encourage him as much as you can because I know from experience it is a hard habit to break. I grew up with parents that smoked for over 16 years each but over 20 years ago, they both quit and they are glad every day of their lives that they did. And so are their kids!

If you don't mind, can I throw in a request, too? For about a week or more, when David eats, he says he feels like the food is like a big lump sitting in his stomach. Today he told me that when he used the restroom, there was some blood. So, I told him he needed to make an appt. and he figured he'd get in by the end of the month. I'm worried & I hoped he would get in sooner.

Well, he called me today and said he got in for tomorrow. So, please keep him in your prayers, that it is something minor. With the recent deaths in his family lately, it gives me the "heebie jeebies!" :unsure:

I'm praying for your dad, Savannah. And I'm happy he could stop smoking. My grandpa is always trying to stop it too, and he can't.

Yes, Jacob, my husband's name is David. To make it easier I usually just refer to him (on this board) as "hubby." Rhonda's husband's name is Sam.

Thanks, everyone! I really appreciate it. They drew blood and checked him "down below." Wednesday, he goes in for a scan of his stomach to see what that turns up. I'll keep everyone updated! Love you all!

Congrats to your dad, Savannah, on being smoke-free for a month! Good for him! I have a friend whose hubby quit smoking a couple of months ago, and has gained a bunch of weight (that he'd lost) back. He's really upset about it. But it's more important that he's smoke-free than anything else!

Misti, I hope the results come back ok for David. I'm sure you're on pins and needles waiting. My dad had some blood too, and found out he just can't have any kind of peanuts or nuts anymore! Hopefully it'll be sth simple like that. My hubby is 45, and it's about time for him to go in for a colonoscopy, just to be on the safe side of things. I know he's dreading it, but you do watcha gotta do sometimes!

Misti how is your Husband Doing? What did the Doc Say?
