Beloved of All
He has diabete's and has now for many years. This we believe has contributed to other health problems as the years pass with the most recent being cataracts in his eyes. This summer he noticed one night a flash of some sort and as it turned out he had to get emergency cataract surgery after convincing him to call the hospital right away. He didn't want to at first because he was feeling depressed and hopeless but if he didn't call then and if he waited even a day more, possibly an hour more the chance of him being completely blind now would have been nearly guaranteed. Recovery from the surgery and healing since has been difficult and rough for him and our whole family.
Last night I found out he called the hospital again after expeeriencing more warning signs of trouble. He is going to the hospital in about an hour now to meet with the doctor.
The other thing is that there aren't many eye doctor's that can help with what my dad need's around here where we live anyway. Approx. 3 in the province.
Yesterday we weren't getting along over stupid stuff that really doesen't matter and I said some mean things and wasn't very nice.
Were all under stress with different things. Im devistated and keep thinking what if my dad wakes up today and his sight is gone now for good? That is a possibility and I cant even think about it. Devistating.
I think what if that happens now? My kids (his grandkids) ages 4 and 6 yrs. and will want to show him pictures they draw at school one day and show him how they learn to write their own name's or want him to take them to the park in the summer. Everything they say involves the words "Look grandpa".
He doesen't deserve this! He's the most selfless person I've ever known and always put's others before himself, always.
