So....

[fairyrune]

I had the "Daddy I love you and I don't want you to die," conversation with my father tonight. Not an easy thing to do, since I usually don't get along too well with him. I mean, I love him, but I don't necessarily like him all the time. Especially when he puts other people before his own family.

I told him what axplazeboy said, and I made him promise that he'd call the doctor tomorrow. It was like pulling teeth, sans novacaine.

I'm calling him to remind him tomorrow morning-ish. We'll see how this turns out.

Good luck with it all. I've been in your boat or at least one that looks just like it.

Heh, any of you that know me, know the story of my father and what happened to him. He was a "DONT CALL THE DOCTOR! I WILL BE FINE" people. Eventually he got sick enough to not only call out of work, but to go. It took the doctors a year and a half to find out what was making him so sick. He joked all the time that "Damn. By the time they find out what is wrong with me I will be dead." It was cancer naturally and he only lived a long year after that. Many doctors and much suffering for him and my mother who truly believed God would heal him. He died 3 days before her birthday........Lesson learned : GO TO THE DAMN DOCTOR! DON'T BE A STUBBORN ASS! Relay this to him, maybe he will see things in a different light. When your mortality is at risk, everything changes.
