My dad was admitted into the hospital around 3pm after a mix up, but I won't even go there. His room sucked. It was an ER Observation room until he went off to surgery this morning and then he got a nice tricked out room.
Last night was horrible to watch. He must have been up every hour on the hour. Even though they were dosing him with morphine every 2 hours and hydrocodone every 4 hours about 8 am this morning he said his pain was about a 1. That was awesome considering he told me last night on a scale of 1-10 what his pain level was and he said a 14. No matter if the pain is a 1 or a 14 he can't ever get comfortable.
He had surgery this morning around 11 and it was done about 1. They removed a mass from his colon near the hepatic flexure. The tumor was softball size. He said he did not really see any signs of spread to the lymph nodes or to any other parts of the colon. They put a port in for my dads chemotherapy as well as a feeding tube in case he can't eat after the surgery.
My mom is staying the night tonight. I am going back in the morning to stay tomorrow night.
