My dad is having surgery Thursday and I a worried

Tweet

My dad is 81 but you would never know it until these past few months. He was always on the go playing golf and traveling but now he has had to slow down due to his really bad back pain. The last time he had back surgery we thought we had lost him due to pain meds and loss of blood he became lost into another time and place. It was really scary thinking then that we would not have our dad back. This time his surgeon told him that he wouldn't do the surgery because he didn't know if he would make it through it. My dad's comment to that was well I guess I go sit in a rocking chair and wait to die. He decided to keep looking for someone to do the surgery. At first we were all a bit concerned about that but as we thought of the quality of life he would lead we realized that for his own happiness we had to agree to what he wanted to do. I wouldn't want my dad to not be able to enjoy life as he always has. Well he found someone to do it and we are all telling him it will be fine when deep down we are all scared we will lose our dad during this. I am on pins and needles waiting for it to just be over with and know he is ok. I just can't take my mind off of it. I am so very worried.
