My dad/ Hulk Smash

Daddy- The Surgery/ Hulk Smash Current mood: thankful
So first things first, My daddy made it through surgery!!! I am so happy about that fact alone, I can not explain the sigh of relief. They were able to remove all of the tumor. It was attached to his colon and his abdominal wall and intestines (the doctor made us some awesome pictures of before, after and during). He lost all of his colon and the inside of his abdominal wall was caterized, and 8 inches of intestines was removed, as far as eating/digesting he should have no problem after a few weeks, but that unfortunatly is where the good news ends. The cancer had spread to his lymph nodes, which means it has a more proabability of reproducing, long story short, with it at this stage and as much damage that has been done, with chemo, he was given 1 year to be with us. I know it could be much worse and I am thankful for everyday that he is in my life. He was my inspiration for years as well as a person I will always look up too. My daddy is the kindest, most generous person I have ever met and he (not that anyone does) doesn't deserve this. I am thankful that I got to hug my daddy tonight and tell him I love him. He was not expected to make it out of that operating room, so I call that number 1 on a long list of predictions he will prove wrong. He was more worried about everyone else than himself, which shows how big his heart is. He was apologizing for being so much trouble. We have a hard road ahead but we will take it day by day and cherish everyone like it is the last.

NOW, moving along.
1. I want sympathy from no one, so no this is not a cry for attention, I think I could come up with something better than this, if attention was what I wanted and I NEVER NEVER would bring my daddy or anyone in my family into it.
2. I did not make this up, however bizarre it may sound to you it all happening so fast. I promise I wish it weren't real. Please ask my mother if her watching her husband of 28 years fight for his life, if that is a lie or a sympathy vote, I bet then you may get the message. I do promise, anyone who said this was a lie, I am sorry but there is a special place for you in hell and I hope you enjoy it there. Just wait karma.. will catch up with you. And yes I am mad, upset and bitter, sorry I didnt want this to happen and I am dealing the best way I know how.
3. I have learned that I can snap in 0.2 seconds, much like the hulk when someone questions the health of my father, its not funny, its not cute and all I want is for my father to live.. just to have him with me, I would not lie about this, that is sick. And if you think I will not snap, I can think of at least 5 or 6 people who witnessed the events of today and no I am not sorry. I can only pray for the ones I did not get a hold of today because this WILL be dealt with, and not over the phone.
4. If you do not care about me or my family, don't read these blogs, better yet, you can delete me from your "friends" list. THIS is no time for childishness, it may just be another "poor cancer patient", but not to me, he his my daddy and to me right now that makes him the most important cancer patient.
OK this was my vent for the night. I have spent most of it crying, yelling or holding one of the 2 back. I can not believe how insensitive and cruel people can be. I can only trust, one day they will see the error in their ways. Have a great night!
Love,
Karen
