Car, Cancer, Injury, Relationships ARG!!!

I just feel the need to whine a little so please bear with me... My Dad was diagnosed with colon cancer because of agent orange and because of his stomach ulcers, he couldn't have kemo - we thought we had it licked with radiation but they told him he only has 9 months(about 7 now). He came to visit me and stayed for hurricane Isabel to make sure my kids and I has a safe place to go. While he was here I broke up with my fiance- That night my Dad went to the Hospital because he was bleeding from everywhere in his body (even his eyes:eek: ) the next day a 79yr old man wasnt paying attention and ran into me and my kids with his big SUV! The car is totalled. The girls are okay(Thank God!) but I am not- I have Cervical back strain and they thought I might need surgery on my neck- The chiropractor showed me my xrays yesterday and told me that necks are supposed to be curved- mine isnt its straight and is actually trying to curve the wrong way- My pelvis is off kilter and one of my hips is higher than the other. Now my fiance and I are trying to work things out and he wants me to do everything under the sun to move to TN like right now and doesn't seem to care or understand my pain. And to top it all off I turn 32 tomorrow. :p
GEEEEEEEZ

AHHHHH! Thanks! I needed that!

(((((((((((((((((atag)))))))))))))))))))))) Where does your dad live? I think you two need to be close as possible to each other...So you can help each other, Whats the hurry to move to TN?

twinfawn- I live in NC now in a horrible town with nothing to offer- My Dad is in south FL- I think I would probably be closer in TN because I am hours away from I-95 here and would be closer to a major interstate there. I plan to visit him as much as I can. He is going to AZ soon to see my neice. I think he's making his rounds before he goes. It's sad because he's not really old and I always saw him as being bigger than life. I don't want to move there because it's so expensive. I do want to move to TN but I would think with everything going on in my life, my fiance would be more understanding and patient. All I can do right now is try to get better and hope for the best. I had a correction done on my neck yesterday so I'm really OWEY today! I always try to be optomistic but it's running thin-lol

Ya just gotta remember I went to a funeral today, and I almost died 8 months ago, I just know how important family really is.....But TN might be the best for you if you would be closer to your dad!, How old is your dad? I hoep you are ok, and get to feeling better soon....:)

He'll be 52 in Feb. All te guys that were in the same "nest" with him in Vietnam have died from cancer except one who is also terminal with colon cancer. The military wont admit anything but they are paying for all of his meds and DR visits. My family has always been really close and I'm definently a "Daddy's girl". He taught me how to play guitar and we played a little when he came- he can't play as much now because of arthritis. His wife told him he had to check himself into a hosp for depression then left him as soon as he went, so he's had it rough. And now she doesnt want anything to do with him but says she doesnt want a divorce. She already took his credit cards and maxxed them out while he was in and ended up sending him into bankrupcy. He lost his house. Everything because of her. I will be visiting as much as I can. I figure I will try to get down there for Thanksgiving, Chritmas and hopefully spring break if he is still with us. It's going to rip me apart. I'm just glad my daughters have gotten to know him. I'm feeling a little better right now. My neighbor gave me a hydrocodone. hehe

[twinfawn]

I am a daddy's girl too, always have been..:) always will be:)My dad is 65 and had Asbestosis, course he's rich from a lawsuit here in Texas, but he don't share it.LOL, says he wants to make sure we are taken care of after he's gone...You just make sure you stay in close contact with your dad and he knows how much you love him....And take care of yourself!, I have been having to take hydrocodone quiet often for really bad headaches.....:)

your family will be in my prayers. I lost my father just over a mth ago and I still miss him so much. Cherish the moments you have with your dad. I wished I had more time with him than I did. There isnt a day that I dont think about him.
