My fathers dying

[Unveiled Artist]

Update

I talkd with my father today. He said they are trying to get enough strength in him so he can have a splint (I think its called) surgery. He has neighbor whose a nurse helping him out. My aunts and uncles (his siblings) are checking up on him daily. He is to proud to move in a flat where he can get more help. He says in a year he will own his property and a full field of land (GA). I know we all keep in contact. My family is trying to help him the best they can with the medical expenses while he does work at home since he cant go out and hunt like he used to.

I talked with my mother telling her that my father is sick. This was about two weeks ago today. She says, "when yore at the funeral. try to see if he got life insurance for you" (Divorce issues; family drama). My aunt says, "you got to know what to you do when your father dies. Whose going to take care of him now. You can do that. I know you want to see him. what areyou going to do, stare at each other?"

Anyway, he is moving about when his feet arent swollen. He cant drive but he has family twenty minutes away. I just wish I wasnt 14 hours away.

Update: I just found out that my father got liver surgery. My sister says he's doing well. I know he talked about surgery almost a year ago; but, no one told me (as usual) that he actually had one. I hate when I feel out of the loop of things.

Send good thoughts, prayers, and so forth. Will be calling him tomorrow. Don't know how to feel at the moment.

May he recover fast and completely Aameen.

Carlita, I'll say this prayer for your father:

“Thou art He, O my God, through Whose names the sick are healed and the ailing are restored, and thirsty given drink and the sore vexed are tranquillized, and the wayward are guided, and the abased are exalted, and the poor are enriched, and the ignorant are enlightened, and the gloomy are illumined, and the sorrowful are cheered, and the chilled are warmed, and the downtrodden are raised up. Through Thy name, O my God, all created things were stirred up, and the heavens were spread, and the earth was established, and the clouds were raised and made to rain upon the earth. This, verily, is a token of Thy grace unto all Thy creatures.

I implore Thee, therefore, by Thy name through which Thou didst manifest Thy Godhead, and didst exalt Thy Cause above all creation, and by each of Thy most excellent titles and most august attributes, and by all the virtues wherewith Thy transcendent and most exalted Being is extolled, to send down this night from the clouds of Thy mercy the rains of Thy healing upon this suckling, whom Thou hast related unto Thine all-glorious Self in the kingdom of Thy creation. Clothe him, then, O my God, by Thy grace, with the robe of well-being and health, and guard him, O my Beloved, from every affliction and disorder, and from whatever is obnoxious unto Thee. Thy might, verily, is equal to all things. Thou, in truth, art the Most Powerful, the Self-Subsisting. Send down, moreover, upon him, O my God, the good of this world and of the next, and the good of the former and latter generations. Thy might and Thy wisdom are, verily, equal unto this.”

This is beautiful. Thank you.

Prayers and wishes.

Try to ask about those you love from time to time. It helps following up with them and also tells them that you do love them and remember them. It's a tradition we have here that I believe is good.

Thank you. Yes, we do need more of that tradition in our family. My sister and her fiance came from GA to visit our uncle. They visited me on the way back down; and, it was nice. Ever since, we've been taking back and forth. She was the one that posted on Facebook (shutters-all my family uses facebook), so that's how I got the message.

I don't know if I should call him, though. I know she repeated that he needed some rest and it takes him a minute to get to the phone, so...

Update:

I called my father a couple of hours ago. He sounds like he's doing well. Laughing and walking. They had to do I think three surgeries. The first was the splint I talked about. Then they went into drain the fluid. I think he said artery. They tried to go to the right artery, but it was blocked. So, they attempted the left and it worked. He said the hospital is using hims a gennie pig. He's going for weekly check ups but he lost most the fluid and he is only taking two medications instead of seven. I honestly prayed to the spirits he'd recover and his family to watch over him. Power of prayer.

Take care folks.

My father is dying. He is bleeding and they gave him meds to help. They can't stop it. I think it's called hemorrhaging. His doctor said he has six months to a year to live. He sounds healthy since his liver condition. Very active. Just talked with him. He said he called me first. He wanted to tell his siblings but he didnt know how.

Anyway, not really looking for hugs, likes, and hearts so much but more keep in mind and/or in prayer for me.

Later folk.

Try convincing him the hospital is not using him as a gennie pig. He is probably 'blocking' his own cure in 2 ways now (1 - disturbing his Aura by thinking 'we' don't help each-other. 2 - not taking the prescribed medicine).

 

[Twilight Hue]

Liver disease is reversable, right? They taking fluid and he still talking? Am i over reacting?

It's serious and you need to be realistic, but there's always hope. Do what you can and are able. Love and support is good medicine too.

Best care to you and your family.

I didn't get the notice. This is beautiful. I let him know. He dropped all his bad habits cold turkey and taking his meds. I'm thinking he is more depressed than anything else. His local family doesn't visit him and I'm four states north of him.

Thank you!

Thank you. The meds are working with his liver. Now he has internal bleeding. He's taking medication for that too and limits a lot of food intake. We were talking everyday now the conversations seem to wane. I gave him some of the art I painted. He was grateful.
