FWIW, your comments and perspective are no longer valued by or relevant to me or my original post (if they ever were). Btw, just because you ask for "details" does NOT mean you are entitled to them and implying that non-responsiveness to such a request is bad on anyone else's part shows your own sense of entitlement, not a fault of anyone else. Your posts in this thread are at least as egocentric as you claim mine are, appear written to prove you are right and that all other concerns are irrelevant. So, I'll just ignore and no longer respond to any of your posts in this thread after this.

No insult intended but you seem to WANT to be responded to. Now you have been.

For anyone/everyone else who might be interested, Dad's doing as well as can be expected. Pain meds are managing his discomfort fairly well. The MRI has been scheduled for next week.
