BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted December 21, 2024 BassResource.com Administrator Posted December 21, 2024 My 90-year-old father is going in for spine surgery on his neck to relieve constricted nerves. That's a pretty tricky surgery for somebody his age. He could end up paralyzed. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He could use all the help he can get. Thanks! Glenn 19 Quote

BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted December 22, 2024 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted December 22, 2024 The surgery was successful in that they were able to relieve the pressure on his nerves. There were no complications. Whether he makes a full recovery is unknown. Nerves take a long time to heal. My father is resting now. He'll spend about a week in the hospital, and then transferred to an adult care facility for 3 months of rehab and physical therapy. The dangerous part is over. Thank you so much for your healing thoughts and prayers! 13 Quote

Super User Jigfishn10 Posted December 22, 2024 Super User Posted December 22, 2024 GREAT NEWS! Surgery is always tricky, especially for someone at that age point. Fingers still crossed for the rehab process 1 Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted December 26, 2024 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted December 26, 2024 Well, he's still in the hospital and they don't know when he'll be out. He needs to be able to perform a certain level of motor skills, and he doesn't like physical therapy. Combine that with his age and....it's a struggle. He'll then be placed in a rehab center for a minimum of 3 months. Add to that, my sister's husband just got home after spending 17 days in the same hospital for his throat cancer surgery. She's taking care of him full time for the next 6 weeks, when they can remove his feeding tube. My mother passed away 2 years ago. She was the family glue. So combine all that, and you can understand why we skipped Christmas. It just felt like we would be trying to force it to happen. I don't want to be Debbie Downer, so here's hoping to better times when we can celebrate healing! 6 Quote
Kirtley Howe Posted December 26, 2024 Posted December 26, 2024 I certainly understand your feelings. But on the positive side, you sisters' husband is home, and your father is still with you. In many ways, you are blessed. 1 1 Quote
