Continuing the DCEmu curse: My dad's story.
I thought it was eerie how so many people on DCEmu parents with major health problems (and losing some parents over it). Well, it's my turn. I got the curse.
My dad has had pains in his side for weeks, and has been to scared to check it out. He hardly eats anymore because food, especially gassy foods, give him more pains.
Today, he gets a call from his boss saying he needs dad to pick him up. My dad comes home and freaks out, grabs his work laptop and runs out the door. We then receive a call an hour later from the boss saying that he still hasn't arrived. Soon after that call, we get a call from the ER saying my dad checked himself in.
No word yet on his condition. I'm wondering wtf is wrong though. What could be in his left side that could make him hurt so badly? I'm thinking gallbladder or something. I'm worried. I don't expect this to be fatal, but I get nervous whenever surgery is involved with a family member.

He finally called us. He said that he's going to have to be there for several days at least. Apparently I heard wrong, he did pick up his boss but my dad started keeling over and sweating while driving so his boss made him go to the ER. He has an extremely high fever. He got a CAT scan and he has a big cloud around his kidney. He was also losing his voice at the time, he said he had to go because he couldn't keep consciousness. They will be taking more x-rays tomorrow on it, they have no idea what it could be.
I don't think I'm prepared for what's coming, but for some reason I have a bad feeling about those results. I'm thinking cancer.......

Wow. I was thinking gall bladder when I read your first post, but it sounds like that's not it. I hope he's OK. It couldn't be something as simple as kidney stones? Those hurt like hell, but usually they can get rid of them quickly, and just make you change your diet depending on what they think caused the stones.

My mom just got back from the hospital, she was there all day with him.
That big cloud around his kidney was blood, he has a growth on his kidney and it's bleeding a lot. They managed to stop the bleeding temporarily. They are going to do surgery on him on monday. They say it's going to be a serious surgery, tney'll have to cut him open on his chest (why his chest if they're removing growth on his kidney, though?). I'm really scared, it's very possible this is cancer.
He should have come in earlier. He's had this pain for a couple of weeks, but we just he pulled something. It was getting worse, but dad was too chicken to go to the hospital, and he said he felt something "pop" in his side yesterday while he was driving and that's when he finally went to the ER. The doctors say he has three months to live if this surgery doesn't work out.

This is true. I'm sure you're very scared for your dad. That's how any of us would feel in your situation. The doctors will do everything they can for him. Take some comfort in that. We're a lot better of these days than people were even 50 years ago.Roofus wrote:Just try to remember, his getting surgery is a good thing. If they can do anything for him, they will.

We got yet another update this morning. The bleeding hasn't come back, but the surgery is back on for tomorrow. They won't tell mom over the phone why it's back on, she has to be there in person (and she has to pay $50 for cab fares each time). I don't like the sound of this.
Everything was looking up yesterday, but it came back around again to haunt us on Easter. Funny how things work like that.
