My dad is sick.

He just turned 70 years old and 16 years ago he had double bypass surgery. He is type 2 diabetic and 1 1/2 years ago he had kidney failure caused by 1 of the drugs that the doc gave him. He also had what they called a "mild" heart attack because his kidneys shut down and his blood was full of toxins.   He had to go in for dialysis every couple of days for 7 months. His kidney function came back to just over 80% from 4%. Not perfect but working well and getting slightly better with each checkup. He has a pace maker to deal with the what his doctor said is a "slightly irregular heart rate" caused by the "mild" heart attack.  

3 weeks ago he went in to have a lump on his leg scanned and possibly removed. They ended up removing 1 of his lymph nodes from under his arm. They tested it and found it to be cancerous. He has non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and it's also in his bone marrow.  He started Chemotherapy 2 days ago and 1/2 way through his 1st treatment he starting having chest pains. They sent him home after 4 of hours of observation and told him to come back up this morning to continue his treatment.

This morning they scanned and x-rayed and did all sorts of tests and found nothing wrong with his ticker. They found no blockages or anything out of the ordinary. 

They are keeping him in hope to find the cause of his chest pains. They are in contact with his cardiologist (heart doctor) and his nephrologist (kidney doctor) in hops to adjust his medications. Last time they "adjusted" his meds he almost died.

After they figure out what is causing his chest pains they plan on completing his 1st Chemotherapy treatment.

 

My dad is the most obnoxious, self righteous, self-centered, stubborn asshole that I've even known but he's my dad and I love him with all of my heart. I'm not the praying type but if anyone can send a few his way it would be very very much appreciated by me and mum. :cry: 

 

 

 They are shutting down visitations at the hospital that he is at on Monday? 2 hours after mom came home this was on the news. This is pretty fucked up because they said absolutely nothing to mom about this while she was up with dad all day today and yesterday.

Quote

Officials from Conemaugh Health System confirmed multiple employees at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center have tested positive for COVID-19.

The hospital has identified those who have been in contact with the infected staff, and they are following appropriate protocols. Health officials also stated that effective Monday, July 20th, Conemaugh will be re-implementing its zero visitor policy in response to the recent rise in cases.

Wow sounds like your dad's really been through it. If he's as stubborn as you say he is then hopefully he'll pull through this too. My thoughts are with you, your mum and the rest of your family during such a difficult time ❤️

Prayers for your Dad and Mom as well as your whole family. It sucks to get old and have to face this stuff with your parents, I completely understand what you are feeling. Hang in there Brother and just keep loving on them.

Update.

He's back at the house. He stayed up there for a couple of days and completed his Cemo. He's doing much much better. Swelling in his lymph nodes went down significantly and he is walking around better. They are going to send a hot nurse down once a week to check vitals and stuff for a few weeks but he's doing better.

 

Not out of the woods by a long shot but atleast he's doing better. 

 

Thank you guys and gals for your comments and prayers. It helps more than you can imagine.
