Message from Frank

That's good news! 👍

OK Frank, now that you've scared the sh*t out of everybody, it's time to get your a** back here!clapping

I hope you feel better soon. You've got a great girl there. She's obviously crazy about you.heart

Bella ✌️
 
I just read Michelle's messages and am grateful that Frank @Murrmurr is doing better! I was praying also, as I read the responses. He is such a good guy, and one of the best people I/we have met here on SF! Including you, Michelle!!

Frank has to be careful, though. You mentioned he's had this before. Stopping smoking was the first thing that came to my mind for him to do, as others mentioned here.

I would also get a second opinion on Frank's tumor and make sure they check his WHOLE body (so no surprises later on). This is the time to ask questions like -
Will it come back again once it's removed?
What caused the tumor?
How long does it take a tumor like that to grow that size?
Why was it located there and not somewhere else?
Was this a primary tumor or a secondary tumor (caused by another tumor).

These are my thoughts! Good luck and God bless!

 

Frank, @Murrmurr quit trying to grab the spotlight on SF! :ROFLMAO:

Seriously, we are all so happy and relieved that you are okay. It was so great of Michelle to keep us posted. She is clearly the wonderful woman you've always described. Glad she was there for you. She truly appreciates what a wonderful and loved person you are as well.

Now, start posting again!

Yeah, you know that that Silver Alert thread? And the other one is Missing Members. I didn't want to show up there after dropping dead or whatever, so I showed Michelle what to do in case that ever happened.

She jumped the gun a bit, but that's ok. Works for falls and paralysis, too. :p

Frank! So good to see you back here! You gave us quite a scare. I'm assuming you are home now? Take care, and listen to Michelle!

She talked about it for over an hour when she visited me at the hosp last night.

I'm home and doing just fine. But I have like 5 doctor appointments on my June calendar now, and I'm not sure they're done calling yet. "Getting Well" is kind of a drag.

I am glad you are home and feeling better. I hope you will take it to heart to not to hesitate to call 911 even if you only need help getting off of the floor. I would call and say, it is not an emergency, I just need someone to help me get a person off the floor. They would even come silent so as not to disturb the neighborhood. They will check your vitals and make sure there is no concern, just a simple fall.

So now quit smoking, you need to be here for your bride your children, grandchildren and the little boy that adores you!!

I sometimes wonder if he does still.

I thought about Paxton a lot while I was alone in my little hospital bed, and thinking, you know, what if it was something worse? Something fatal, like a heart attack or something. What would they tell him? What would he think?...just another person who left without a good-bye or an explanation just when things got even worse for him?

That was tough.

It is a sad thought but, you are still here for him.

When I was 15/16 we had a neighbour who's husband had left her to bring up their small child alone and I use to babysit while she went out to work in the evenings, that little boy was about 4 or 5 when they moved away and I gave him a set of story books. Years later, I was in a supermarket and saw our ex-neighbour, she called over to her son and pointed me out, he rushed over and gave me a hug. I couldn't believe that this was the little boy I use to look after (he was late thirties by then). He introduced me to his own two little boys and told me that he still had the story books and would read them to his own children. He also remembered me taking him over to the toy stall in the market and letting him choose a present. It's amazing how much small children remember.

I am sure he still adores you!! When you see him again, he might be stand offish at first, just to protect his heart. Like you have said, he does not understand what is happening or why.

I know one thing, you want to be here so you can see him, help him grow up, if even only with regular visits. (I hope at some point you would get custody)

The thing is you have many people that love and depend on your ongoing presence in their lives. No one wants something to take you away from them. Quit smoking, your overall health will improve, there will be less of a chance of heart attack or COPD. You can't do a lot when you are dragging an oxygen tank behind you.

That's amazing, Trish! I love this story.

Paxton will be 4yrs old in three days, and he's very intelligent, that I know for a fact. He susses things out way better than the average kid his age. He's insightful.

It was amazing and it was great to see how well his life had worked out. I never expected to meet him again and was surprised he remembered me. We never really know what the future holds and I am sure that if Paxton ever needs you, you will be there for him (y)

But I still have 3 cartons left

Come on you don't have 3 cartons do you? I will admit that I had about 2 packs left in a carton.
I had a CT of the chest as my insurance started covering as preventative care. It showed the signs of the beggining of emphysema. I cried for a couple of days as I smoked those last two packs. I told myself, when they are gone, I am done. Again, did not think I could do it. I have never bought anymore, I have never bummed one. I know if I light another cigarette, I will have a miserable life and a tragic end. It is time, it is time!!
