12 hours?!?

                          So my father went under surgery on the 15th or May.

That morning we were told it would be 748 minuet surgery....12 hours and 46 min. WHAT?  Serious that long!  Well in the end it ended up being a total of a little over 10 hours long.  Let me tell you...waiting that long was so scary!  He went in at 7am and a little before midnight my mother and I went in to the ICU to see him.  At the first sight of seeing him....I could not breath. Everything went blank.  To watch my mother see  him the way he was hurt me, my heart fell to the ground hard seeing her hurt for him...   For what seemed like forever was just silant and tears.    He didn't even know my mother and I were there.  He was hooked to all kinds of things and a breathing tube down his throat.  He looked more like someone that was in a 10 car pile wreck than someone that just had surgery!  Nver never want to see him that way again! But ...
The surgery went well and cancer has been removed along with everything in the pelvic area!!! 
Needless to say it has not been an easy recovery!  We have had many good and bad times,learning how ostomy bags work has not been easy AT ALL. He has had a few set backs. But weeks later I think we finally got the hang of things.  My father has little by little been doing well and trying to build his strength back up.

I have to say that I never in my wildest dreams ever thought that that I would ever see  my father go through so much and hurt so bad that there is nothing I can do to make him feel better.  Most days I wish so so wish I could just take it all away from him.  Going through many emotions with him and my mother has made us stronger and closer.  My mother has been his BIGGEST supporter and I am so happy that he has such a great wife and bestfriend.       

A BIG thanks to all family and friends for the support and prayers and love.
