Garyv Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 After being in the same situation for the last 9 months all I can say is hang in there and try your best to keep everything as positive as possible. One of my surgeons said it best...medicine is not an exact science, everyone is different and sometimes we have to fine tune our treatment. It's hard to accept and do but being positive should help you in the long run. My thoughts are with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I spoke with Jack this morning and he is feeling a bit better now that he is in a room and not stuck in a hallway...has had a couple of meals of solid food but still has the intervenious tube to ward off dehydration... Tests so far have found nothing but he has one more to go with the proctologist and hopefully they will get to the bottom of all the complications (pun intended) He definately sounds like he is in good spirits (No...not your kind Dawg) Anyhow...that's your lot for now...keep up the good thoughts and prayers for him...

1leggedangler Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Glad to hear they got Jack into a room. Being stuck out in the hallway in emerg is no place to get better. Hope they get to the root of the problem soon. Thoughts are with you Jack and Jackie. Sincerely, 1leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Cliff Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 It's about 2:00 pm, just got off the phone with Jack and Jackie..... Some Dr. came in and mentioned the big C word to Jack and was surprised he didn't know. Needless to say both of them are very worried and waiting to hear back from Jack's Dr.. Jackie has vowed to stay by Jack's side untile they get some answers... "I wouldn't have expected anything less from those two". Seems the nurses have agreed that she can stay as long as she wants to no matter what the visiting hours are. Good on them I say! Good thing they did or they would have found out what a fight really is LOL. It will take a while to find out what is really going on but every prayer will help.... sure can't hurt! Please keep praying folks, Jack would do no less for any of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Cliff Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Jan. 18,08 update. Well, I just got off the phone with Jack and they are doing more tests but they did confirm that there is some cancer but they don't know the extent of it yet. Jack thought he might be going home today after the bone scan and have to go back in a couple of days for the results but he'll be much happier at home! (Jackie might not like the nurses uniform that he got for her though LOL). he sure seemed excited about getting home though LOL. Anyway just wanted to fire off an update because Jack doesn't have access to a computer at the hospital, hopfully he'll feel well enough to get on line soon!
