My prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

Sorry to hear of your loss, And I thank you for your prayers as well as all of you. Just returned from the hospital and he was still not eating mush of anything. But seemed in much better spirit than yesterday when I arrived.

Done deal, you're family's on my list also.

I know what you are going through. My step father died just over two weeks ago. He was very active. He just got done climbing Mt Washington for the millionth time the day before. He went to bed and never woke up.

My family wishes you the best in these trying times.

Hope everything works out for the best.

I thank all of you for your support.

We moved or should I say the Hospital decided it would be best for him to go to a rehab center in Mount Vernon VA. I personaly think it was the insurance company putting pressure to move him out of the hospital.
His surgery was a success! but he hasn't had much food since and can no longer stand he ahs lost so much muscle. Like most of the older generation he has his pride and being bed ridden has taken its toll on him. He stated tonight that he is giving up! Of course true to my dads style he waits until I get back to FL for the weekend to say that.

I am at wits end here and I would like to know if any of you have any sort of connections or politcal power or suggestion on how to get him back in Alexandria Hospital so that he can get 24/7 care.

Thats a tough one Wayne, You mentioned that the old school guys and theyre pride, My pops is 82 and going through the same stuff, I never understood him, until you just made that statement. Thanks.

Insurance Companies do alot of things, like quit paying the hospital bills and then the hospital has to kick him free. It costs a small fortune to stay in the hospital.
Hospitals have a 300% mark up, I know this cause my Mom paid all cash prior to passing of cancer recently and they worked a deal with her.

Im sure you have seen how scary our Medical System is here in America, Its really sad that we take care of everybody else out of country and Illegal but when we need it, were shoved downward.

Its going to take another EVENT for your father to wind up in the hospital again, Im sorry to put it that way, but thats how it works.

I wish I had an easy answer for you but its a tough one and I feel your pain and concern.

Hang in there and keep us informed
