- (thanks, everyone.) -- nm - kelly Feb 16, 19:36 1
  - (hugs) -- nm - nubby Feb 16, 19:44
- It's definitely a tough call, as someone who has a parent go through major surgery, you will be better off listening to you mom though. - sycor Feb 16, 19:01
- I would stay home and be there during the time you can be of the most help. - Dano Feb 16, 18:51
- I'd do both. when my dad had cancer, he told me in no uncertain terms to stay in university. at the time he thought he had a year, it turned out to be - mafic Feb 16, 18:48 2
  - (not that this matters, but my dad's is Stage 1.) - kelly Feb 16, 18:50 1

- (Wow, these answers surprise me, to be honest.) - kelly Feb 16, 18:47 41

    - Wow, I really mangled that post. -- nm - Stephen, the Most Miserable Poster in America Feb 16, 19:17
  - Let me answer from the perspective of the patient. - David Feb 16, 18:57 26
    - Well, I'm actually going to say yes. - Kim Pine Feb 16, 19:00 22
      - I love this post. -- nm - mud Feb 16, 19:17
      - After talking this over with Kim and hearing some stuff for the first time about my stay, I'm switching my vote. -- nm - David Feb 16, 19:10
      - I won't be able to be there long-term for him, though. At most, I'll be able to stay 2 days, but more likely only 1. - kelly Feb 16, 19:03 8
        
        what day of the week is his surgery? -- nm - TFox Feb 16, 19:11 7
        
        Monday. -- nm - kelly Feb 16, 19:12 6
        
        ok, then my vote is, surgery Monday, in ICU til Wednesday where he'll have more nurse and family attention than on a normal inpatient floor... - TFox Feb 16, 19:25 5
        
        I second this more things considered. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 16, 19:38 4
        
        The next Sunday is my mother's birthday, so maybe I'd be able to give her a break as her birthday present! :) -- nm - kelly Feb 16, 19:40 3
        
        More and more, i think this is the better option hon. - Will Hunting Feb 16, 19:44 2
        
        The whole thing is stressful, I just don't know. - kelly Feb 16, 19:52 1
        
        I understand. - Will Hunting Feb 16, 20:00
      - i also agree with Kim here. - TFox Feb 16, 19:03 10
        
        Don't forget it's ICU...that's a different case from my experience with mom. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 16, 19:04 9
        
        meaning what? -- nm - kelly Feb 16, 19:04 8
        
        ICU: Typically 1 to 1 patient to nurse ratio. Some of the good nurses don't leave the bed. ICUs also have strict visitation so you may want to ask - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 16, 19:08
        
        ICU's normally a lot more strict on visitation.... - Will Hunting Feb 16, 19:07 6
        
        Yeah, but what about your mom? - kelly Feb 16, 19:07 5
        
        My ICU experience is based on her stays there....that's why I mentioned her. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 16, 19:13 1
        
        Okay. - kelly Feb 16, 19:22
        
        I'm just saying....if you go up to be part of this first 2-day oversee....if he's in the ICU...that's not quite the same thing from experience - Will Hunting Feb 16, 19:12 2
        
        Yeah, I would suggest she calls the hospital now and asks about the visitation policy for ICUs. They may or may not allow family to sleep over. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 16, 19:22 1
        
        This, when my aunt was dying of liver failure you were only allowed in for a few minutes at a time. Including her kids. - sycor Feb 16, 19:25
    - I don't think my father will wind up having many visitors, to be honest. If he does, it will probably be short visits. The surgery is in Boston, about - kelly Feb 16, 18:59 2
      - fwiw, i had to call off the dogs with visitors for a few hours today because SheFox just needed sleep. - TFox Feb 16, 19:01 1
        
        I have had this dilemma a few timesin the last few years. Sometimes with friends having babies, sometimes with friends who are sick. - loosilu Feb 16, 19:02
  - we're probably looking at it more practically than we would if the shoe was on the other foot - prayformojo Feb 16, 18:50
  - In fairness, I think we've been hitting him with the opposite advice for a while now, but the situations are different. -- nm - TFox Feb 16, 18:50 8
    - My thought is simply that she's not 'there' but once or twice a year....this is a huge deal in the family - Will Hunting Feb 16, 18:52 4
      - if she really only gets a week for the next 4 months, i say it's important she makes a trip back. - TFox Feb 16, 18:54 2
        
        I will probably do a few Friday night-to-Sunday-night flights or something, but at some point I'd like to spend at least 3 or 4 days total. - kelly Feb 16, 18:57
        
        I can see your reasons...trust me I do. I know she wants to be there; I support what she wants. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 16, 18:55
      - Time to move, what do you say? :p -- nm - kelly Feb 16, 18:53
    - Well, at least I know I won't be written out of the will if I'm not there for the surgery or something. - kelly Feb 16, 18:51 2
      - That's fine...I'd rather be out of the will for not showing up at a surgery than for not being a good enough son by visiting often enough - Will Hunting Feb 16, 18:54 1
        
        Depends on the day and who she was talking to... -- nm - kelly Feb 16, 18:56
  - I really don't know what I would do in either of your shoes. :( -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Feb 16, 18:49
  - I dunno, but I'd believe Meg and Landbeck about these things. :-) -- nm - mara Feb 16, 18:49
- I'm with the others. Listen to your mom and go when you're in a position to be helpful... - MojaveMeg Feb 16, 18:45
- I suppose its a rule of thumb that you will be needed when its most inconvienient for you, but it does sound like mom and brother can take care of the - zeitgeist Feb 16, 18:44
- In this particular instance, I'd go when he needs the help. -- nm - David Feb 16, 18:43
- Speaking from the Dad's perspective, what he really wants is for you to be happy; your affection and care for him shouldn't cause you guilt. - landbeck Feb 16, 18:43
- I'd vote for going after - prayformojo Feb 16, 18:42 1
  - Let's ship him Murphy for the few days before. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 16, 18:43
- Go after the surgery -- nm - ceregon Feb 16, 18:41
- jmo, be there when you'd be most needed. -- nm - znufrii Feb 16, 18:41
