thanks again, Just talked to one of his doctors. He says my dad will be dead before 3 months without this surgery he sugested. He also says he could die on the table at his age, but is better off doing the surgery. I go into the hospital myself in 30 mins for an epideral, then a spine surgeon tomorrow. But I am going to go get my dad and check him out for the holiday then take him back on monday. so I have a hectic schedule, but will do what I have to to make my dad comfortable. Thanks for all the prayers and comments . It means a lot to me. I am wearing down fast at this rate.
