Well things started off great today as far as dads surgery went.
It was scheduled for 1 p.m.
The Dr was an hour ahead of schedule so it was set up for noon instead.
Seems the tumor(s) removed do not appear to be cancerous according to the Dr.
The prostate moved towards the bladder which also is a good sign as far as non cancerous tumors stated the Dr.
Dad has a cathater until Friday so that's a lot of fun.
No pain or discomfort dad says.
Now it's wait a week to see the results of the biopsy.
\Thanks all for your thoughts and prayers this past month in my life.
They've all been needed AND appreciated deeply.
Have a great day/evening as well.
Thanks once again all.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Well the Dr said it looked good as far as cancer etc.
he said, "Fingers crossed there won't be cancer."
So I am positive minded.

I love the fact that you always keep us up to date on what is going on, good or bad. Glad that the surgical prognosis is optimistic. You do not need any more negatives. Say Hi to dad from us all.

Thanks.
being on here is a stress reliever most times for me.
So that is the main reason for the updates etc.
It makes me feel better and eases my heart and mind etc doing it.
Now if this damn catheter didn't leak when he urinated things would be great.
Most goes in the bag.
But when he got up tonight the towel on the chair was really wet.
Oh well, I'll deal with that as usual.
Thanks again friend.

Thank you as well.
dad did not even recall why he was in the hospital.
That's one good thing about his slight dementia.
They asked him about 5 times why he was there.
he kept pointing at me saying ask him he has power of attorney. Hahaha!
But he did well and so far things are oplay except for a leaky catheter.
Oh well.

Good to hear that things are off to a good start. How is your father holding up? Can't trust your father though when he says no pain and such. Look how long he didn't say anything about the bleeding. We'll keep praying.

Everythhing seems okay.
I was awoken at 5 a.m. needing to change his clothes as the catheter slipped loose a bit making a mess in his pants.
No biggie though. Painfree when he goes now it seems.
Thanks also friend.

Hey Grandpa Bob! Glad to hear that all went well with the
surgery! And glad to hear that things don't look too bad.
That's a very good sign when the doctor says that they
look like they will be ok just from looking at the them
from the biopsy alone. So hopefully Dad will be just fine!
Glad he has no real discomfort. I will still keep you and
Dad in my prayers! Now get some rest so you can take care
of Dad and save some energy for Minnie and Savanna!
