I lost my dad..

I haven't been on in awhile. My Dad fell and broke his wrist on the 1st. of Dec. and they found he had Pnemonia (sp) in one of his lungs. He was a diabetic and they would get one thing fixed then something else would go wrong. They had to move him to Tulsa when Claremore decided they didn't know what to do. He went to ICU and they discovered that his lungs wasn't getting rid of the carbon dioxide in his blood. And 4 days later he was gone. Now I'm focusing on getting this surgery. I don't want to have to go through what I have seen this do to my dad. He was sick for so long and in so much pain. There is nothing so terrible as having to watch someone begging to die.

Bless your heart!  Praying for you! Tonja

My heart goes out to you for I know exactly what you are going through. I had to put my Mom in a Nursing Home over a year ago. She recently had her leg amputated. It is so sad and hard to watch her suffer. Just focus on your surgery and know that your Dad isn't in pain anymore. God Bless and best of luck

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad.

Sorry to hear you lost your dad.  I lost my dad in 1996, so I know what it is like to lose a parent.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad.  I went through almost the same thing 10 years ago this month with my dad.  He was a diabetic also and went into renal failure on a Monday and passed the next Saturday.  Take time for yourself to heal and focus on getting your surgery.  I'm doing this surgery for some of the same reasons you are so that I don't end up going through some of the same things as my parents.  My mom had to have her lower left leg amputated almost a year ago due to diabetes, but you wouldn't know it because she is so independent.  Hang in there it does get better and you start remembering some of the better times you had with your dad.  Take care.

Thank you everyone.

Bless your heart. I will keep you in my prayers

I am so sorry for your loss!!!! You will be in my prayers!!! Hugs

May God confort your home in this time of loss and give you the strength and courage you need to move on with your surgery and make your life a healthier one.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.
