My dad has his kidney removed yesterday. Apparently there is a big tumor on it. Looks cancerous, so I don't know where he will go from here. We are meeting in CA for Christmas. He was supposed to come on 22 Dec, but he's going to be late. My mom and brother will go ahead, and he's not allowed to fly until the 25 or 26. I hope that it all works out and he can come at all. The dr.'s say that he'll need two weeks to recover before he can fly. I feel like we should change plans and all decide to go to TX instead. Money and all that aside, or all change our arrival dates to make sure that he's able to come. I would feel like a total ass to be in CA whlie my dad is in TX, not having the dr.'s approval to fly, over Christmas, realizing that he is facing cancer. I feel like we should be taking some kind of dramatic action, but at the same time I feel like it makes everyone feel so much better to just keep our plans and go to CA and say that it's all OK and he'll meet us soon, because it's all OK.
Because if we change plans that is saying that it's not OK because he is really sick and now we need to plan around the really sick guy and we don't want to miss this chance because he might not get better or something like that. I'm rambling....

I feel like I should have more to say right now, sharing feelings or things like that but right now that is all I can muster.
