Without going into it too terribly much, can anyone who believes in the power of positive thinking send some good get-well vibes to my Dad?
He's been fighting a wound that won't heal in his foot for quite some time .... but there's a lot fighting back. He's got diabetes which brings its own foot neuropathy issues... he had frostbite when he was in Korea.... and he's got poor circulation due to arterial blockages in his leg veins. (working on those as well). Well, happy Fathers' Day to me, I just got the news that there is now bone infection in his foot, and they're that much closer to amputating. But... in completely unrelated news, he has now found blood in his urine, and is up for a CAT scan on Monday.
Just got off the phone with him, he's understandably depressed. However, he's now talking in a way that's scaring the bejeebers out of me, and I've never felt so helpless.
Thanks...
