I talked to Dad today. His kidneys arent getting better. Instead of the short term, 3 days a week he was getting for dialysis, he’s now going to have to have a stent put in his belly and have dialysis done nightly. At the moment, that’s all I know until I can talk to the doctor. Im trying not to worry, but worrying is what I do. I’m just trying to keep it unset control. Please, no more telling me to go see him. Right now, that’s not what I need. I’ve spent more time with him than any of the rest of us kids. I tell him I love him every time I talk to him. If he were to leave this plane today, there’s nothing I would regret not saying because I’ve said it all time and again. What I need is support, virtual hugs, and people to let me know im not alone. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-cant-lose-my-dad/981464)._
