I am sorry to post this here, but I remember we had some nurses on this board and since we are all like a "big happy family" here, I wanted some help, advice and information.

Sorry to all others, but this is the only place I could think of to go and "vent" and get some answers.


My father still lives in VA. I got a phone call at 2 am this morning that he was yet again in the hospital. Long story short.. he went to the ER a month ago with a migraine. He has not been headache free since. Well......... they have found two tumors on his brain. One the size of a peanut and the other is quite large. They are operating today and say he will be in the hospital for 4 - 5 days. I am planning on leaving either late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning and driving from Florida to VA. I need to know what to expect? What I can do to help? How I can convince him to return to Florida with me? He has wanted to come down here for some time and now this...... I feel he NEEDS to be here where I can care for him properly. How long is the average recovery time, etc? The doctors are Navy doctors and are not very "free" with giving out information to me.

Please help?!?!?!?!

If I do get him to return with me, I may have to sell ALL my dragons in order to empty a room for him to live in. Arrrrrrrrrggggg

I don't know if I am ready for this. Not only that, but this is going to cost me an arm and a leg and I am practically broke right now (Like most mother's this time of year)

Thanks in advance to any and all who offer advice and help
