my sister had surgery. Was supposed to be 2 hours, ended up being 4 and then another 3 in recovery.
Was talking with my B-I-L in the family waiting room. We were talking about the russian traitor and this piece of shit guy about 65-70 years old walked up to me and started talking about Hillary and uranium. I told him he was ignorant and should read real news and stop watching faux.
My BIL told him to mind his own business and not get involved in other people's conversations. The POS told my BIL he shouldn't be talking in a public room if he didn't want others to interrupt the conversation. My BIL lost it and told him his wife -my sister- was having surgery to remove cancer and he needed to mind his own business. The piece of shit told us that he would be happy to settle the matter outside.
I told him he wouldn't be so glib when he lost his medical aide thanks to the russian traitor and that in all of my life I never thought I would see true Americans side with russians and walked out.
If my sister hadn't been in surgery I might have really let him have it but instead I walked out

(111,342 posts)You let him sample the first brick of that wall that's about to drop on him.
Doing that instead of having some sort of physical altercation was a much better idea. You ruined his whole day and now probably his next week or so, you didn't get arrested for assault, and you're not soaking one of your hands in ice water.
Offhand, I'd say that's a rousing success.

(31,997 posts)results yet. The polyp was as big as a fist. I feel that she won't need chemo but we won't know for a few days.
Surgery was a success.
I guess our family DNA sucks for gastro issues.

(2,396 posts)I'm glad it's over now and she did well. I hope it's good news.
I'm also glad that you nailed that guy with your remarks about Russia. His age group grew up with the Cold War and maybe a molecule of reality got through his thick skull about what he's defending.
demtenjeep
(31,997 posts)and without help this surgery wouldn't be happening but after that encounter today they are both angry at the deplorables

(2,396 posts)I'm disabled myself and my family voted for trump also. I'm steeling myself for SSDI to be cut 20%.

(31,997 posts)and I don't understand how they constantly vote against their needs
but this is Kansas and you know...abortion...
Kittycow
(2,396 posts)Abortion issues. I also avoid politics for the most part because I will end up estranged from my family. Congress and then trump pushed me into left field

(31,997 posts)blood sugar under control so it kept being postponed.
I guess that is why I am not hugely worried about her needing chemo. I feel they wouldn't have waited if it had metastasized

Best wishes to you, your sister and BIL.
My spouse had similar surgery and all turned out well.
GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)You did the right thing. Although and old man offering to fight just shows how crazy they are.
In my younger days the minute he brought up fighting I would have laid him out right there in the hospital. I was raised southern and was taught never threaten and respond to threats with instant violence. But I was a right winger then.
Now I would have laughed at him and told him I did not want to spend the night in jail and he did not want to spend the night in the hospital(as a patient)
On the whole you handled it better than I would have.
But of course, that pales to your sister's situation. She has my good vibes.
Take care and I hope everything turns out well.

(31,997 posts)i have been having serious signs of pancreatitis. I get it at least once a year thanks to the Crohn's. I have been having horrible aweful pain in the evenings Every night I go to sleep thinking if it is as bad in the morning, I will call my doctor. Well I get up and it is some better so I wait it out and then in the evening here we are again...

(1,865 posts)I do know You've been dealing with a lot, health issues, work, family, political mess..

(31,997 posts)if the pain worsens in the night we will call the ambulance if I last through the night and the pain is still strong, I will be calling my doctor for sure@

(31,997 posts)tomorrow plan to take lunch for bilaw and make some home made chicken broth for her because she is still on liquids.
Earlier tonight brother in law was crying that a sandwich and a cup of coffee cost him almost 7 dollars.
He thought he would get food too when they brought her try he whined where his tray was.

(51,308 posts)I certainly hope so. A hospital is not a place you should be visiting if you have that condition.
Many, many people are at risk and helpless to infection in the hospital. Especially that particular one.
demtenjeep
(31,997 posts)I am not sure it is gone.
Lab says so, but I still get so much pain.
I have been scoped and prodded and MRI and enterCT
But every afternoon and evening I just hurt so dang much

(82,849 posts)They're just getting angrier now that they've gotten everything they ever wanted, politically speaking. We should all be prepared for folks like this to impose themselves on us, anywhere, anytime. While a number of responses suggest themselves to me, I think for now I'll go with, "Why in the world would you assume that your opinion could possibly be of interest to us?" accompanied by a withering glare. If it seems warranted, follow that up with, "Are you having a psychotic episode?"

(464 posts)They have made lots of progress in treatment since then, especially in some of the side-effects of treatment. Radiation is less likely to cause damage to other organs. There are better treatments for nausea. I know from friends that treatment is still a bitch. I still recommend that when able, you drink beer and laugh as much as you can. For sleep, I fix my friends a little linen lavender pillow. They are not hard to put together. Essential oils probably would work too. I send her good vibes for a full and long remission, like I've had.
I'm going to add that people like that should die a very slow and painful death. I send him appropriate vibes.

(11,104 posts)Try to stay positive for your sister. I can tell you from experience....this is a tough road and hope and positive thoughts will help keep you going.
That Trump creep you met in the family waiting room doesn't deserve a minute of your precious time.

Hang tough, and don't let the bastards get you down.
