So, after all of my Dad's operations this year,. and my bitching about T, my Dad and me got hit again today.
My Dad called and said.
"I have two torn Hip Flexors In Both Hips"
I nearly fell off my chair.
I told him that I was heartbroken for him, and that of course I'm always there to support him.
The usual "Fix" for this.
Double Hip Replacement Surgery, done one a time of course.
However, of course in my Dad's case, the man is 81 years old, and has just had three surgeries in less than two months, and six surgeries since August 2020, on top of his already having a heart condition.
Thus.
While my Dad is "Meeting with a Surgeon " on Monday.
My Dad's Spine Surgeon, who my Dad trusts for all his medical needs, and a close family friend,. and my Dad have discussed that "Surgery is the last option "
I will admit that I lost it and started crying a bit when my Dad told me this news.
Then after I had calmed down, I told him that my reaction was simply because I love him, and I'm very concerned. My Dad said that he understood that.
Now, we take a deep breath and wait.
My shaking has gotten much less, and the medication that is supposed to help/stop it, has not even arrived yet.
I know that all I can do with my Dad is to support him whatever decision he and his doctors make.
I will know.. "more" on Monday.
Until then, ?I just support my Dad and we wait.
