This is my Dad, also known as Poppa to his grandkids. On Wednesday October 15 he had brain surgery, hence all the things stuck to his shaved head and his rockin hospital gown and bracelet. What a long day that was. Even longer the weeks leading up to that day. He was just having headaches, had a MRI, and the Drs found a tumor. Probably some of the craziest news I've ever received. I felt like the wind was taken out of me and sort of tingly all over. No comparison to how he felt though.
What a fighter he is. Did I ever have any doubt...if we're realistic with ourselves, of course we do. This is my Dad, and seeing him so vulnerable was really hard for me. The surgery lasted about 7 hours, and my Dads tumor even broke a tool upon removal. Amazing recovery. Was able to leave the hospital on Sat. Just 3 days after the surgery.
Everyday is better and better. He's left with an amazing scar, a resemblance to Bruce Willis, and I'm sure a new outlook on life. Oh Dad we love you sooooo much don't you ever go scaring us like that again. But if you must, we're all there for you. Loving you every bit of the way. And praying like crazy too.
