Talked to my Dad on the Phone last night....He sounded really good....He said that Mentally ...He is 100%....The Doctors were worried on how He would take it ...having a Bag...didn't seem to be a Problem ...so far....and He said He feels about 70 % Physically....Been up and walking all of the Wing that He is in...and driving the Nurses Crazy..

They still have Him on Ice Chips and Water...no Popsicles or nothing until He has Bowel Sounds....He told the Doctors that if They want Belly Sounds to bring on the Steak and Potatoes.....I am telling You He is a Resilient Old Fart...and Stubborn as the Day is Long too

Hey Mike I'm glad to hear that. Attitude is probably half the fight and it sounds like he's got a good one. Ron

Mike sounds like a Yooper to me Good on him for being a tough ol bugger. Only met him the once and only for a few minutes but
he's a true blue Yooper Hope to see him here for the Salmon Derby next year and I hear your in charge of da chummin

They are about three years from being able to lone Organs like the Bladder....so they say.... He has never talked to Me about Transplants of the Bladder...but it may be an Option down the Road.

Thanks Pappy...He can use all the Prayers He can get

Mike, sounds like your dad is on his way to a great recovery and a continued quality life. I hope the best for his recovery.

[El Destructo]

Thanks Greg....I called my Fathers room at the Hospital in Madison Wisconsin after work today....and the Phone just rang and rang...so I decided to call my Stepmothers Cellphone to see what was going on....well She answered the Phone...and I asked what was up...well She told Me that She was in the Grocery Store picking up a few things...and the Dad had told His Doctor this Morning that He was going Home hell or High Water....TODAY! There is supposed to be Bad Weather rolling in for the Weekend and He wasn't going to get stuck thee in it....and if They couldn't get the Paperwork done...He was firing the Lot of Them....and Leaving anyways....well by 2 in the Afternoon...He got His wish and they headed Home.... He seems to psychologically be 100%...but I believe that He isn't Physically ready to be Home....By the time it was all said and done....He was given damned near 4 total Blood Changes.....34 pints of Blood and 6 pints of Plasma....and is still bleeding some Internally...they have a Drain in His side that is draining about 120ML every 3-4 hours of Blood and Fluids from His abdomen...but He was too Stubborn to stay another Day!  He says that He feels better being Home....and I know that after my Bike Wreck...I felt a lot better just being Home myself...so maybe I am just worrying for nothing....I want to thank You all ...Y'all....You's Guys....did I miss anyone...... for keeping my Father in Your Prayers and I will keep You appraised of His progress also.........God Bless

Michael

Same from me Mike. I just hope he isn't pushing things too fast. Ron

[Wulamoc]

Sounds like the same type of character I called Dad!  They just don't lay down too well! Prayers are with you and for him, my friend!

[El Destructo]

Thank You Guys....I really appreciate the spiritual help...and you can never get enough.... ...He is one from a different generation for sure...they never call it quits...never lay down and surrender....I too Ronnie...am hoping that He isn't pushing Himself too fast too...but He is as stubborn and as Strong as a great Oak Tree.... and won't give up as long as He is rooted soundly to the Earth....

 I'm glad to hear he is doing better, Mike. It's always nicer at home. Everything smells like it's supposed to, and well, it's just, home. Tell your Pop's to get better and if he comes back down this year, I'll have him a pig tied to a tree waiting for him.
