father in law is having FNA

[dart frog]

I had posted awhile back about them finding a nodule in his thyroid. The problem is hes 75, a diabetic, has had strokes in the past, has had TWO quad bypasses, high blood pressure....the list goes on and on.....

He has NO idea what his thyroid levels are......is NOT cleared by the heart dr for the FNA, we all know he would never survive another major surgery, the whole family is against him having this done.....and you'll never guess who the family has picked to go with him??????

He knows how ticked I am with MY endo.....bet ya cant guess who HIS endo is???? So hes afraid I'll start yelling at the doc while hes doing the biopsy...

SIGH
His appointment is at 10:30 tuesday morning. Prayers please that this will turn out to be nothing and it doesnt drive the whole family completely nuts!!!!! LOL

You know your picture always makes me smile.  If my little boy sees me on here he makes me show him the "froggie" picture.  

Hoping and praying your f-i-l's FNA finds nothing.  My question is, if everyone knows he won't survive another major surgery, then why the FNA?  Just to see what he's going to be dealing with?  Think I'd rather not know if it was me.  

Am praying also for the Lord to give you the strength AND patience ;) to deal with your endo for him.
Hard spot to be put in, huh?  At least you won't go in there with an attitude of whatever they want to do to him they can.  You are very knowledgable in all of this and will be a great advocate for him.  That which does not kills us makes us stronger, so you should be mighty strong by now.  Know you are just starting to recover from your own surgery and not feeling good, but as long as you hold to the Lord's hand and cling to his strength he will give you all you need to get through this.

God be with you.

why the FNA???? Cause he wants to be a pain in the rear end.....LOL.

We arent sure why he is insisting on this....everyone has tried talking him out of it with no luck.....just something he has to do I guess.

Your fun never ends, does it?  ;-)  Be sure to take some deep, cleansing breaths before going in and seeing the doc.  OR, better yet - open up a big 'ol can of whoop @$$ on him!!  After the FNA is done, that is.  :-)
Okay, being serious now......I'll be thinking of you and praying that all goes well and the nodule is benign.  You know, I was told that 95% of the time they are anyway, so the odds are in your favor!!
Take care!

PS - love your picture too.  I'd post mine, but it's kind of stupid.  I chose it because we had just watched Napoleon Dynamite, and the brother's name is Kipland and the whole movie just cracked me up.  Bad thing is, now I'm stuck with it and I'm sure some people think I'm a guy!!!  hahahaaa  Good one, Lori!!!!
