So far out in left field I got lost
yesterday my Dad was admitted to the hospital with Reanl failure, Congestive heart failure, and a blockage in the lower part of his intestines. Dad is a stubborn man(gee I wonder where I get mine from) and has been refuseing to go to the Doctor for over a month.

After Mom called me yesterday at work and told me that my Dad was once again having stomache problems with nausea, vomiting etc. I took off to their house and with the threat of bodily harm onto my person got my Dad to the Doctor. I told Dad that he could threaten me all that he wanted to and after he got to feeling better he could whip me like I was a little girl again but he was going to the Doctor anyway.

Dad is usually a patient of the VA hospital, the closest VA is 2 hours away in Lake City FL. The Doctor here in town at the Urgent Care clinic advised us that he may not make it to the VA and was admitted here in our local hospital until he was stable enough to be transfered to the VA in Gainesville FL which is 3 hours away,since the Lake City FL. VA didn't have a bed and no longer does surgery.

I need all the prayers and good vibes that this board can give for Dad to get better
I am not ready and I never will be to loose my Dad

None of us are ever really ready to loose our parents I think. My prayers that you will not have to for a long time to come.

Aw CAthi, I'm sorry your dad is so sick. My thoughts are with you all. And I know how you feel about not being ready to lose your dad. My mother is not well and it's really hit me lately that the possiblity is that she might not be with us much longer. I'll keep you all in my prayers.

There's no place like home
Positive waves coming your way from Kansas City. That was really cool of you to tell him in no uncertain terms that he had to go to the doctor. It's so hard to do that as the "child". You go girl!
