And I want to apologize before I do it here.

My mom told me the doctors told her something they didn't tell my dad, but
she couldn't talk about it because he was in the room when we were on the
phone.  No excuse, I know, but still.  I apologize in advance if I've
offended anyone.

This is going completely over my head, Jill.  What did you say to make an
a.s of yourself or offend anyone?  <confused>
Do you mean *it's* back?

I haven't a clue what you're talking about, Jill, but I've read all your
recent posts and none of them seem offensive.

I hope there's nothing wrong with your dad - I'll send some spare purrs that
there's not.

Apparently the doctors told my mom he's dying, no surgery, no chemo doesn't
mean a *good* thing.  Means there is nothing they can do, but she had to
whisper about it to me over the phone.  At any rate, I'm a bit upset and I
said some things on another ng which were not warranted due to the stress of
it all.  So I hope everyone here will be a tad tolerant if I spout off when
it's not um,,, appropriate.  I'll try to contain myself.

My offer to move down to the South Carolina low country still stands with my
mom.  Persia might find the lizards interesting ;)

Ah, I suspected as much.  I'm very sorry.
I'm not sure if you can ever escape the big C.  Once you've had it I don't
think you rest easy again.  I certainly don't.

Spout away.  There's nothing like a terminal illness to make you angry.  I
hope I can also be forgiven for sometimes spouting off inappropriately.

Ohmygawd, Jill, I'm *SO* sorry to hear that.  Please feel free to spout off
to me at will (if you don't feel comfortable doing it here on the newsgroup,
email me).

Purrs coming that your dad can at least be comfortable.

Purrs and prayers on the way that there's some misunderstanding on your
Mom's part and that the outlook isn't as bleak as you fear.
Tolerance should be the order of the day in cases like this one.

it felt good didn't it!

what you need is a good sock and go cuss some people out...
even people on here, they got it coming and it feels really good

you can take the sock off, come back and commence to swap
a recipe with the same one you just laid out! it really is a rush

I'm so very sorry to hear that. I hope that your family can find a way
to make the best of whatever time he's got left.

I'm very sorry to hear that news. Mega purrs coming for your whole
family - especially your Mom who is having to shoulder an extra burden
keeping this secret from your Dad.

Unfortunately, I imagine my Mom would go through the same thing. She's
a retired RN who wants to know exactly what to expect. Dad just wants
to know what the Dr wants him to do - doesn't want to know long term
prognosis or chances of full recovery. Just wants to know what does he
need to do to have the best chance of recovery, and once he's told
what that Dr wants him to do he becomes almost obsessed with doing
exactly that. Dad has had two cancer scares - prostrate and some type
of cancer which resulted in amputation of the end of his thumb.
Really, his only concern is that he doesn't want to end up spending
years in a nursing home like his Dad did for the last 20 years of his
life.

I think she meant IF she does offend anyone in the future not that she
did offend anyone. I saw the post she is referring to in the OTHER
group. Purrs for Jill and family.

If you need some one to yell at target me. I will gladly let you yell at me.

Don't worry, you don't have to apologize. You didn't offend me but I
thought you seemed a little uncharacteristically testy. I wondered if
something was wrong. Purrs that you & your mom can cope with your Dad's
illness; and of course for your Dad too.

posts. I'm sorry about your Dad. Purrs for you and your family.
