So My Dad's Surgery Is Tomorrow

those guitars look like Epiphone Casinos, which is what they used on the white album or at least most of it. Yer Blues is from that album.

i remember this , it was for the rolling stones rock 'n' roll circus, on a more serious not i recently lost my dad to cancer, infact his funeral was last week. we didn't even know until he went into hospital for something else, we was just lucky to have him back home before he passed, took him within a week of returning. what i'm trying to say godreborn cherish the time you still have please buddy. my dad had had enough of living due to no quality of life because of a stroke a few years ago and we accepted it, but it still ripped my fucking heart out when he passed, please just spend time with him even if you don't talk it doesn't matter just being there is enough.

I don't want my dad to pass, but at the same time, he doesn't seem to take this seriously. I find addiction to be a weakness, and I can't help but feel that my dad is weak for succumbing to alcohol and cigarettes. I've had a pretty turbulent past few years that I think I might've developed the inability to cry. I can still feel sad like I did when both of my dogs passed last year, but I never cry. never cried for my grandmother either. it's just too taxing on me, so I choose not to.

it depends on your dads personality, if he has an addictive personality its hard to give stuff up but it's not a weakness. some people drop one habit only to be replaced by another, whether it's cooking, running, walking, cycling or gaming these people jump in gung-ho, not cos its good for then but it's just another habit to replace the previous one. nothing bad about a good cry, gets alot of feelings out. good luck buddy

don't forget mitch-mitchell in the notables

yeah, he, my sister, and myself have addictive personalities. however, it's one thing to completely stop smoking, but not being able to do it for a mere 2 days kinda pisses me off. he couldn't even last that long. he's been given a second, even third, chance at life, but he doesn't seem to care.

i guess he feels as he now as cancer why bother, but it is kinda shitty though as he should be trying for his family if not for himself.

yeah, that's the thing about my dad. he's too stubborn for his own good. he hung up on my mom multiple times when he was trying to go home after his heart attacks. I bet this will be the same thing all over again.

Really hope the best for your father! Spend as much time with him as you can.

Good luck. I've seen a couple radical nephrectomies and they usually go without a hitch. Hoping the best for your dad.

thanks, guys. your support means a lot to me.

I feel his struggle with smoking. I've been smokinfor a decade its hard to to just not do it. Even when I don't want a smoke, I'm smoking. I hope all goes well for him and your family tomorrow.

You should talk to him about both the smoking and drinking, regardless of how shitty it may be. He could take something from it, so it's worth a shot.

My 6 year old daughter talked to me about my smoking and now I think about it a lot more.

I think they gave him patches in the hospital after the heart attacks, but he said they didn't help. I'm not sure if two days was enough to come to that conclusion.

I used to be addicted to alcohol, but now I find whenever I get invested in something else, I rarely think about it. that's why I sometimes go full force with this hacking and exploiting stuff in the scenes. I recently figured everything out on the psx classic, understanding the retroarch options (have it autobooting now). it took 10 hours since it's a little glitchy. I'm not sure if it's prudent to do a manual scan or not, but games not found in the database will not appear in your list otherwise. a manual scan ignores the database. I just merged both databases together on the pc instead of starting over, then used hashtab to get their crc32. I even copy /b 'd mega man x3 to get a full crc32 of all bins together (not sure if that was needed). now, everything, including saves from a ps1 memory card, works. it took like 10 hours 'til about 6 in the morning to do all that through some trial and error. point being -- I was so caught up in it that I didn't even think about drinking.

I used to associate gaming in general with drinking, since I did both at the same time. my dad is the same with coming upstairs and getting on the computer. it's true that he needs to associate that with something else. I don't really have anything to associate my stuff with other than maybe diet-free pop. the added sugar is my replacement, but the calories don't do you any favors.

All the best for your dad and your family. And good luck tomorrow!

Great video!

We are all hoping for the best! Good luck to you and your father!

I just went with my mom to take my sisters dogs home. they've been staying with us 'cuz my sister went to pick up her husband who just finished a hike of several hundred miles. anyways, she told me that my dad is already asking when he can come home, and he hasn't even been to the hospital yet.

Sincerely hope that it goes well and that your okay too man.

Best of luck with your father and his surgery.
It very well may do him some good if you were to talk with him, even if you don't really talk about much else besides music or guitars.
I don't say this to say I think anything will go wrong; I'm a very optimistic person: no one knows what tomorrow will bring.

It’s so frustrating to see someone go through this. A friend of mine won’t quit cigarettes and coffee. He has had 2 heart attacks as well. I wish the best for you and your family.

thanks. yeah, it kinda makes you mad, especially when his main worry is how long he'd have to stay in the hospital. my mom said to him, "the doctor said two days." his response, "so that's Wednesday, right?" my dad doesn't want anything to cut into his smoking and drinking time. he obviously can't do either while in the hospital.
