PT Prayers for Andy's Dad

[ramanth]

Andy is at his workplace Holiday Party. His mom is at the hospital I imagine. Andy will probably give an update tonight.

[Fett]

I went and saw him and he said he's feeling better than he did yesterday.

I saw part of his scar with the staples like I got. I found out a couple things....his surgeon today didn't know about them leaving him sitting in the chair for 8 hrs straight yesterday. Mom said that nobody on staff came in and made him move back to the bed. Also, I found out *shudders deeply* that later last night after they moved him to his new room they put the bladder catheter back in !!! I told mom and dad I don't know why they just didn't leave it in, since he'd only been out of surgery for 24 hrs and still couldn't get himself out of bed to go potty. I told him how bad I felt for him for them doing that to him. I know for a fact my brother or I couldn't handle that, but dad must be a tougher cookie than us....even though he said it burned and stung a lot when they did it. They'd have to knock my brother or I out if they wanted to try that.

I guess he had a lot of people come visit today, which I think is good, but the nurses told him they thought he had too many people coming in. They didn't bother me about that so overall it appears my care there was better than he's been getting. They've rushed him into doing things too fast when his body isn't ready for it, then they've bugged him he's got people that want to come visit him when he's sick.

Glad to hear your dad is feeling better...wish he was being treated better!! We are still thinking of him and hope he continues to feel better!

I sure got lucky with my surgery...in and out in under 12 hours, no staples, no catheter (that I know of ) and back to work in a week!

[Karen]

Your dad will remian in our prayers! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! Methinks he needs his own goofy slippers!

[Fett]

Glad yours was fast and relatively painless, Cincy's mom.

Karen, he's already got a pair of big slippers shaped like footballs. He's had them for a while and wears them around the house sometimes. We'll get him back in them soon.

[Cincy'sMom]

Hope your dad is still doing well today, Andy.

[Fett]

Yep. I didn't go over there today, but mom said the nurse commented how much better today he is doing than yesterday. They had him walking around a few times today, which is good.
He had some more visitors too, she said. He's had more friends come visit him in the hospital than I did.

Dad came home today and seems to be doing ok. He's been up and down around the house, relaxing. I myself am trying to fight off a cold, which is likely bad to have since my lung is healing.

[slick]

Good news about Dad, Andy....not-so-good news about you. I guess by now you've heard all the remedies and do's and dont's. Myself, I've never found anything that helped. Prayers on the way.

[Cinder & Smoke]
