Update on Dad

Update: I just got off the phone with my dad...we talked about his leg and he wants to try the chiropractor ONE more time...I told him I would feel more comfortable if he went to the doctor and he said he would go if this trip to the chiropractor was unsuccessful...I made him promise...And also told him I would make the appointment if he didn't...am I being too pushy?? I didn't think so...



Well I thought things were looking better for dad and his pain. He went to the chiropractor on Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday he said he had felt better, and was not experiencing much pain. Well I just got off the phone with my mom, and she told me his leg was REALLY hurting him at noon today. I told her that was it, he is going to the doctor...listen to me... Surprisingly she agreed with me. We discussed how even if it is nothing serious, we would both feel better knowing he had been to the doctor. We will see what he has to say about that. I told mom to put a bug in his ear today, and when I go to Madison tomorrow I will give him a takin to...

I did look up a little bit of information on the internet, but could not really find anything. I found some info on complications after surgery and the only one that made any sense was Deep Vein Thromosis. Who knows if that is even what it is, but I knew I shouldn't have researched it because now, of course that is the only thing I keep thinking about. One other thing, my parents have a friend who had the same procedure done a couple months before my dad, and he is now having problems with his back and legs. He is going to have an MRI, which makes me think maybe seven months is not so normal to have the discomfort.

Either way, I hope we can get dad to go to the doctor. Like my mom said today, maybe after being in so much pain this noon he will finally decide it is time. Usually I can talk him into things too...I mean I am a daddy's girl, and let's face it...I know what I am talking about! HA well at least I think I do. Anyways, thank you for the kind words, and sometime down the road I will update again on if he went to see the doctor, which...he probably will sooner or later :)

What's a post without a picture...
