ok i saw my dad today he said he had something to tell me then he changed it and aid in fact take this he handed me this 8 page print ut of peripheral arterial disease , anway this is wha he has just been diagnosed with and ive red bits of it and ive given i a bollocking cos he is smoking and that is a big no no diet if over weight well he has thyroid problems and is my mr blobby , and also it highers the chance of heart attacks well he has a heart disease and has already had 2 heart attacks s things really arnt looking good for him and i know he is worried cos he printed it out for me as he hides his feelings very well but he said he felt i needed to do , he spoke to his doc about my op aswell and he told him to tell me that at the moment it may seem like its never ending at the moment and he sad that i dont have to worry about another scar because to check your bowels they put something in your throat hmm thats weird , and they need this to go any further and it may even have a result , well i think he nicer than my doctor lol.
then i got lost on the stupid ridiculous pathetic horrible bus grr and had to get my recovery man to recover me wen i could tell him where i was cos all i could see was grass , horses and train tracks and roads
Well this is great as if you don't have enough! So glad you're safely back at your computer Girl! I know that if a person doesn't want to give up smaking..they won't,no matter what you buy them to aid in quitting or no matter what you say. Or is it just men that refuse to listen to reason? You must be so very concerned about him. But he has to decide to change. Would he if you tell him your girls need a Granddad and you need him around and you have enough to deal without him worrying you to death???? Good Luck there Sweety,you really need peace not more worries!
he says he will but he still smoking he makes me so mad he knows he is at high risk of heart attack he has txt me tonite and said he was going to quit after all his tobacco is gone we will see its jus he doing everything he shouldnt be
Sorry to hear about your dad, I know you love him. My dad has smoked since he was 14 and he still is even now he's 75, he doesn't care about his health, and I'm surprised he's survived this long. Hope you're ok and sorry I haven't been in touch. Looks like I'll be doing more hours at work soon so I'll try and check up on you as often as I can.
hugs sweety lol all men are stubon in there own way hehe na but seriuos note i hope he gets better geez you havent had a good few weeks have ya xoxox chat soon
love you lots:) xox
It is never too late to change his lifestyle though. My dad used to smoke 60 a day, had a really stressful job, drank almost daily and did no exercise. When I was 16 he had the standard bronchial cough and stopped breathing. My Mum who has nursing training managed to get him breathing again and he stopped smoking from that point on (well after he smoked the rest of the packet!?!) He started drinking much less and looking after himself, now 19 years later he is 77 and still going strong. If he didn't change I know he wouldn't have seen his two grandsons and granddaughter! This is your Dad's motivation!!! Generally your GP surgery will have a clinic that will help him with diet, exercise and everything else he needs.
I am really glad he opened up to you about this! I wish him all the best
It is probably fear on his part. I am sure it must have come as a shock to him.. I hope he gets the support he needs, there are so many groups out there that will assist him!
Oh Emmie - tell your Dad to try really hard to modify his lifestyle as much as he can for you - especially for Chloe. My Dad died before Jaydee and my nephew Sam were born - and my other nieces and nephews worshiped the ground he walked on. Tell him that girls need their Daddy - no matter how old they are... No wonder you hadn't seen him when he was around - he may have been too upset to tell you.
Thank goodness the recovery man was there to rescue you - your own personal hero - the frog prince xoxox
oh he is being so stubborn , ive told him he has to stop smoking although he did not stop while i was with him but i did buy him some patches wheather he used them or not i dont know i will ring him later , your right a girl needs her daddy , but the way he is at the moment he is at high risk of heart attack, and he had burgers for dinner last night and i couldent change his mind he is so stubborn now i know whee i get iit from , i only found my dad 3 and a half yrs ago its just not fair
my recovery man was mean to me he wouldent let me go in the shop wen i found where i was , and he was shouting at me asking wat i could see but all i could see was grass trees road and trantrack but he was convinced i was lying y would i lye he had to phone his work near newton abbot so drivers could look out for me as at the time nobody knew where i was chloe was bored of being in the buggy she doesent like this buggy and she was getting really irritable tired and hungry so i ended up carrying her anyway i will email u once ive dropped kylie to school thanks for your text u really cheered me up xxxxx
Well some of us did wish you a quiet and peacefull recovery. I'm just not sure we meant that type of peace and quiet or that sort of recovery . Sorry to hear about your dad. It must feel a bit like the domino effect, however we also know that dominoes are strong and will always stand up again. I think I just called you a domino?. Its the meds. Will be sending you good thoughts and hugs.
haha glad im not the only 1 it affected last nite was very strange , i took my 2 tabs and morphine i was on minti nxt thing i know i woke up barry asked me to pass him something from kitchen on my way to bed instead i got 2 plates off kitchen side fell over as i was givving him them and oops i was on my bum hehe he asked wat he wanted with 2 drty plates hehe, im worried about my dad but i really have to do my housework this guy about this house is coming today at some point yay oh im sooooooooooooooooo exited
Sorry to hear that, I know this feeling, firstly we had find out that my husband has got life treatining and theratining illness, week after my mum felt don and brok her arm and hibs, week after that my mother in law had a heard attack, now i have an infection under my arm and its hurting a lot. So it seems like never ending story, but I know, we all know after the rain the sun shine will come up.
It's difficult in knowing what to say in a situation like this but then one thing I can say is that as long as your Dad knows you're there for him that will help him an awful lot u see I do suffer from depression & do have trouble with my back &legs but my Millie is caring she even makes me have a rest & sit down at the side of the when we go out for walks hope this helps Just be there for him & look after yourself & kids You seem to be a strong willed person so chin up Let me know How things go.
i had to grow up fast and learnt to swallow all bullets shooting at me if that makes sense , i used to have depression too and i know its not nice at all , millie sounds like aa lovely girl
Hi Emmie, I'm sorry toread about your Dad's ill health. Just a heads up, I too have thyroid issues, and a simple blood test can tell if your dad needs medication. Thyroid issues can also mess up the weight, gaining too much, or if on meds now that are too much losing weight. Haven't a clue about artery stuff...only that diet plays a large part. Hope u are feeling better....and giving yourself time to heal with rest....very hard to do with little dinkers, but needed!
my dad is on throxine for his thyroid and he is mostly over active than under active , sorry to hear u have thyroid problems , umm resting i went on a little mission today to i dont know where lol
