father had surgery today

well, this puts him over 360 skin cancer operations.

almost half of his face was removed and grafted from his inner thigh.
a jawbreaker sized lump was removed from his chest
nickel sized lump from his neck

he's been going through this for so long, I would have certainly killed myself a long time ago.

I'm not down about it, it's just part of his life. At one point he was taking 4 different narcotic-level pain meds. He's one tough cookie and he'll be back on his feet making dumb jokes within 3-4 days.

I'm sorry for you and your family Zooner. I know, you know that dealing with this is a difficult thing. Hell even being with a family member that goes throguh this is hard enuff.

My prayers are with you and your family Zooner

he just called and appears to be in good shape. morphine certainly helps, but it merely dims his pain.

Sorry to hear about that man. I hope his pain eases soon. I can't imagine what he's been through. I hope he gets better soon poor guy.
