I never really talk about personal stuff but last year my dad was diagnosed with throat cancer and has been undergoing some pretty aggressive treatment.
Tonight he fell and I found him face down, delirious, and barely able to speak so we rushed him to the hospital. After a few minutes he was talking more clearly and seemed to be back to himself but it’s really hard to see him so weak and looking so little like himself.
It’s really overwhelming, tonight just feels like the climax of months of fear and stress.
Remember to always tell your people you love them.
Just wanted to post a recovery update. I still have no feeling in most of the leg and no movement in the rest of the foot but the strength and range of motion of my ankle has been slowly improving. Just 6 months ago I couldn’t move the ankle at all so I’m happy with the progress.
After 10 months i am finally able to move my foot! This is as much as I can do, and it’s extremely difficult, but it feels amazing to be able to see any progress after so much time. Still a long road to recovery but I’m pretty excited!
