Mom's skin surgery on 7/21. Dad awaiting test results.

Mom's skin on nose surgery is now scheduled for 7/21.
Thanks much to Cousin Sean for the help.

Dad went on 6/26, Thursday, for the bone density test.  However, he will not get the results for a few days.

My parents agreed with Cousin Sean that time is too short and precious to spend it mad and arguing. They are going to to work on not complaining about the other.

Dad's cataract surgery went fine

Dad went through surgery for his one cataract, and it went OK.
Mom's regular doctor appointment today went normally.

They feel everything is going OK.
Dad feels only problem is figuring out when to get Mom's skin cancer of the nose taken care of.

Parents better emotionally, but Dad has aggressive liver cancer and Mom awaiting skin cancer removal.

My parents seem to be getting along quite a bit better than two weeks ago.  When I visited Friday evening they were not bickering near as much as previously.  Dad got frustrated over a couple items, but the conversation did not linger nor escalate over them.

Mom and Dad greatly appreciated the visits from Cousin Sean and Uncle Chuck and Aunt Luise this past week.

Dad's medical diagnosis is now more challenging.

They went to the doctor Friday, 6/20/2014.  The biopsy revealed an aggressive liver cancer.  If no treatment were given, the estimate is that Dad would live for about six months.  There are now many more frequent treatments on the schedule than there were for the bladder cancer.

Parents struggling with frustrations about each other more than medical issues

After my visit with my parents Friday night, I again felt that their medical issues, while serious, are less of an immediate concern than their learning to get along.

The new medical issue is that Dad has a growth on his liver.  A biopsy to see if it is cancer is scheduled for 6/13.
