Wow. This site is truly special
When I saw this thread, I teared up a little. Thank you so much for your prayers and kind words for my dad and my family. Trike Talk is so amazing with such kind and thoughtful people. I’m happy I can give back a little even if it’s just flipping a few pictures every once in a while.
Update on my dad...once again he has proven to be the strong, determined man that raised me. I got to see him on Saturday. Because of this virus stuff, he can only have one visitor per day :xzqxz:. We can’t touch him and we have to stay distant. He looked pretty bad and was sleeping when I got there. He did wake up after a few minutes and we got to chat. He was in good humor, making jokes about all the tests they’re putting him through. Also, I was happy to see a couple of empty pudding cups on his table
. I didn’t stay too long. He was very tired and I wanted him to sleep and get his strength up.
Mom went to see him yesterday. The doctors determined that his pain is a combination of an infection and several kidney stones. They have begun to treat the infection and he was actually eating a real lunch when my mom arrived. :clapping:. When he’s a little stronger, they will try to pulverize the stones and also remove a stent he had put in the last time he was hospitalized. So surgery...again. At 93 years old that is always scary.
My dad is kind of a tough guy. He doesn’t complain and doesn’t let anyone know that he’s in pain or feeling something abnormal. If he had waited much longer to go to the hospital, the infection would have killed him. Right now, he’s feeling better and is stable and eating so once again we are very fortunate. He will be in the hospital, they think, for another couple of weeks while they build up his strength for the surgery. Mom is so relieved. She is also tough and doesn’t let on if she’s worried. This time she was obviously very worried.
We are all breathing a little easier. I’m sure all of your thoughts and prayers are helping a lot. Thank you again. We are so grateful to you all.
