Dad was in the ICU all last week, he is losing about 2 to 3 units of blood a week. The surgeon said he cannot operate until after chemo/rad so we just have to wait it out with him going to the hospital every 2 days to get topped off with blood. I was never one to give blood but having a loved one go through stuff like this wakes you up to the need for it.
My family and extended family has never really had these type of issues. Almost every single death has been quick and most of the time in their sleep so all this hospital and back and forth is very new. I definitely have a new found respect for people that do this for years with terminal ill family.
Good note he is still super positive he laughs at my jokes of pulling all his money out and going out in a blaze of glory with coke and hookers. I firmly believe Dads really are your best friend when you get older. I can tell him anything and he always had advice to guide me in the right direction.
