My Pop is 87 and widowed these past 4.5 years. He found a nice lady to be a friend the past couple years at the retirement village.
His family struggles with heart disease. His baby sister died a month ago at 80 unexpectedly with heart problems.
Dad's heart is a wreck with bad valves, but with all the other stuff he's got wrong with him, surgery isn't in the cards. He had a mild heart attack Monday night and they stuck him in the hospital Tuesday.
Not only the valve, but some blockage of other arteries ON the heart. He had 2x bypass in 98' but can't do that again, either.
They put in a stint today. Didn't work long in 97', but prayers sought he gets in a couple more years. He drives me nuts with his penchant for contests and soothsayers he sends money overseas trying to win money, but he's a good God-fearing man who just gets confused sometimes and follows wrong thoughts.
Thanks for prayers for healing for ole Titus. :)
We both appreciate it!
Doc prayers sent for God's best for your pops and comfort for you. My dad died when I was 2 so I know the ache that comes from the lose. Praying you are spared that till it's the right time and you and your pops are ready to say good-by for a while
Prayers from our home for dad.
Doc...Praying for your dad, asking God to give him a few more years if it's His will....
Continuing to lift you and your job up as well...God sometimes puts us in a place we don't want to be,,,,but it's where He needs us to be...maybe just to reach out to that one person who may not otherwise hear the Good News of Jesus Christ...Praying for You Brother!
Prayers for comfort and clarity,for pops..hang in there Doc....
PRAYERS UP FOR YOU BOTH!
PRAYERS from alabama.
Prayers sent for your father and you.
Thanks, Folks!
Dad had a stint put in. Didn't do much back in 98', but they say it's improved. The did some cat scans on his head...but docs never called to talk with me, his POA. Typical and he can't remember anything about what they tell him.
He's in for the weekend yet... they don't start balancing his coumadin to go home till too late to be released. He won't even get PT over the weekend, so it's a forced 2+ days more to rack up costs. Oy! :(
Good news is that aside from them lying him flat and killing his arthritic back, he's doing well, all things considered.
Thanks for the prayers...
Prayers for ya POP...marco
Brother
Sorry I missed this post til now. Prayers as always continues for you and your Dad.
Dave
prayers up for dad and you bud....
keep me posted.
Brad
He's doing ok it seems. He needs PT to get his strength back after lying in bed and sitting in chairs. They don't have room at the facility tied to his apartment...but one down the street from me. He should get transferred today or tomorrow.
With his ticker, every day is a blessing to be here. Thanks for your many prayers.
Still praying
Caught this one late Dave, but more prayers sent!
Brother Dave
Prayers continuing from Georgia for both you and your Dad .
In HIS service
Dave
Thanks, Gents.
After a number of stutter steps, it appears we have an opening at a nearby facility where he can get some PT/OT to rehab his strength, and hopefully, get back to his apartment.
He's anxious to get away from the hospital. I wish he could be at his campus where he lives, but they were full up for skilled nursing. Means he won't get to see his friends while he rehabs, but it might make him work harder to get home to his own domicile! :)
Thanks again for keeping ole Titus in your prayers.
Saw this one a little late.....
Prayers for pop and family from here...
Later.....Buzz
continued prayers, thanks for the update
Got things arranged for him to lodge at a nearby nursing care location to get PT/OT till he can get back to his apartment.
Social worker at Hospital said he'd let me know where he landed and when. People at the nursing care facilty said they'd let me know. Dad said he'd call and let me know what room and telephone #. I got nothin!
LOL..ole pop calls at 10:2o to tell me "he forgot". Well, at 87, I kinda expect it from him, but both the others?
I figured he was alive somewhere in Lanc. Co, or I'd have heard sooner.
Thanks for all the prayers. Now to get him rehab'd and back to his li'l ole apartment!
Peace out!
Just got the word buddy,hope all is well,I'm ok considering our last talk.Need anything let me know.J
Just saw this Doc!
Prayers for both of you from Kansas!
prayers...mark
He's doing better... Dad likes being waited on and I keep harpin if he wants out of rehab a nd back to his apt, he'd better start showing independence. :)
here's praying he'll get back on his own turf later this week. Thanks for the prayers for ole Titus. 87 years young!
Doc Nock, your pop sounds like a great guy. Prayers for continued healing sent.
Thanks everyone. Dad is being released Friday AM to go back to his abode on the retirement village campus in his independent apartment. He'll continue PT from there. He's excited and I'm happy for him.
Thanks for all the prayers adn support! From me and from Pop! :)
Glad he's doing better. Prayers continue.
