Thanks to all that have replied to me. 
Dad is doing ok. He is really forgetful which is a worry in itself. mum agrees and thinks it is a mini (hopefuly) stroke.
We wont know more till he sees specialist at the end of the month.
Thanks xoxox In

Dad gor results back from blood etc. He's red blood cells count was very very low, and the white high. He had to take samples of bowel, urine etc, for testing to find out where the massive loss of blood is going.
Today he was told he has massive amount of blood in Bowel. He has to have colopscopy (s?) and also a camera down stomach to see what is going on. He can't get into dr for two weeks plus- just app, to talk about it.
So i have gone about it and rang around to find him a Specialist close by, to get in earlier.
Needless to say he is really worried. He hasn't seen the Nero Specialist yet- end of this month- so this could mean nothing, all alot.

Thanks for the update on your Dad. So sorry you still have no real answers to his health problems. The waiting is so difficult & all consuming. I pray for a good result, when you finally get one!

Hi All, Thanks for the thoughts!.
Dad had his colonsocopy and endoscopy done on Tuesday. Stomach is clear- no ulcers or problems there. He has some polips? in his bowel, they romved all of them and sent them off for test. They also found a "red area"- which the Dr is "very concerned" about. Which has dad worried too- obviously.
He then had Nuro specialist on thursday he has ECG on his brain. Every thing looks good there, But he wants him to have a MRI on his front lobal.
There is a concern there. But he did mention more a problem with earlyset of dementa (so my guess not blood loss of problems with tumors etc- hopefuly. But he is still losing massive amount of blood and they are not sure where.)
Also- felt the dad collapsing was to do with a brain disfuntion. Dad hurt his back really bad 2 years ago and did some discs in his back- he gets alot of pain now and then still. The specialist feels that the back nerves caused the cramp in the leg- massive amount of pain, Then the brain made him feel like he was going to be sick- the brain has too many messages going and closes down- faints then goes into shock- It's really rare and has a massive long name- but means it can happen again and he now has to watch out for it.... weird huh?
Dad went to his regular DR yesterday- fri and got the written results from the bowel- have got the biopsies of test back- but the report mentioned that the red area could "could" be as simple as a Artiral bleed. _ Guess a artery broken and it's bleeding everywhere??? so maybe this was all to do with that.... Who knows. But positive I think.
 BUT- if he hadn't had the fall, then he wouldn't have had all the blood work done, and therfore wouldn't have found the blood loss = then wouldn't have found polips.... So guess something has come out for the good.
Mum is really worried about the dementa though- as anyone would i guess. Lets just hope it's just a bad memory 
X In- sorry been meaning to let you all know, but been a mad house here -plus dad making me think the worse, by asking me to buy his house and look after mum etc...

Ok- results in for the bowel. Clear
The DR thinks it was a bleeder, and believes he quaterized it when he did the polips etc. He has to have alot of follow ups in the next few months and bllod work done to make sure.
He is seeing the Nuro again at end of month ( i think) and then it eill be looked into better.
Thats all for now- Sorry haven't had internet acess lately- or in future.

ok- here is a god awful long post- maybe more like a best seller???  or a one-hit-wonder discount book.
Ok- here goes, Hi all- and so sorry not to be posting as much as i'd like, or reading- as i haven't been on. (also sorry for missing all the important things that have happened.
I'm ok. Hunter- as usual- sick But getting there. He has to have tonsils out in November, and adnoids re-done !
Dad has had results back- Bowel Cancer- but has been removed and will have to have regular checks and tests etc. He's head is still a issue, he doesn't have early-onset of dementia, but has been told his job is killing his brain... He is a battery room, full of toxins and equipment etc. Plus he doesn't exercise he's brain enough- mind numbing job-.
I have got him doing puzzles and mind games such as memory and sudukou etc card games. crosswords and more.
He's fall- passing out- was due to pain and nerve issue with his back and brain.
so.....
Me- well, health is ok, doing a hormonal/insulin program. Which has been helping me with hormonal issues, which has helped with the pain and monthly issues- But the beauty of doing this islosing weight too. lost 17.8 kilos in 8 weeks !!!!! - feeling good- other than back killing me, straightening up. But hey, a gals got to do, what a gal has to do
ummm, and thats about it- for now

How many times have you woke up and decided to change your life/self, or just the way you think...?
Me, I do it all the time, It's like i hit a brick wall and bammm I hate everything, everyone and just wish i could bury myself in a big dark hole and sit and watch the world go by... Then i just pop my head up and think ENOUGH!
I then all of a sudden Have a fire cracker up my arse and think- get yourself into gear. I then start to re arrange my life- which doesn't really work that well- I just piss everyone off around me.
My Husband hates it because i'm on his case about everything. From picking up his stuff, to keeping house clean to doing overtime. I hate to nag, i hate listening to me nag. - But if i don't nag- then nothing gets done, I go back to being lazy and hating my life and the way I live.
How do i stop this circle?, I have no idea. But i tend to hate myself more and more, everytime.
I have started a weight lost program and doing well, which is giving me more confidance, and health, energy. I have lost around 20 kg. in 12 weeks. and feel good.
I just need sleep now, Once Hunter has tonsils taken out ,then i hope he'll pick up and sleep better. I just feel now at wits end. It's taking me a hour to get hunter down... Once Upon a time, he would go down to sleep no problems, and then wake at 11- in pain. Start his usual night of pain screaming and no sleep... Lately, he has been doing everything possible not to go to sleep- or wants one of us to stay with him. Pushing the boundaries. Once he goes down, then he STILL wakes around 2-3 and crys all morning in pain... So that on top of no sleep and then work till late afternoon.. It's killing me. Me, as a person, me as a Mum. ME.
My days off are for Hunter, and of course the ever relenting circle of house work, I find that my one and only day off is a Monday. It takes me all day to get the house in some order, around the mummy and hunter plays and time spent riding and pushing bikes and cars around. By the time i stop it's then dinner, bath and the ever lasting bedtime.....
I can't do this anymore, it's taking a toll on me, mentally, health and just spiritually which i think is worse.
After all that I crawl into bed and wait for the night screams to hit. If I'm lucky a few hours of straight sleep.
well my whinge for tonight, now off to do the hour of one-more hug, one-more kiss, one more.....
(note- The Supper Nanny is about to enter the house of Inn and Hunter's)

Ok, so been a while. Slack I know.
Well, lets see whats been happening. Hunter is sleeping SLEEPING!!!! Yes, it only took 3 years (and alot of vodka- for me, not him though i did think about it once or twice) 
He had he's tonsilis out in late November and wham 2 weeks later he slept through, the whole night!. and still is. It's amazing. he's reflux is still there, but so much better. He also hasn't had the bugs he normally gets, every week. Took me a month to learn to sleep again. So, that's a major thing why i haven't been online so much. With work, back and my own health going on. Plus beautiful sleep- i haven't been up all hours in the night to post
We cut the pay t.v off, so another reason i haven't been posting- Matt has been on here way more than usual, and as I was the one to heave ho the pay t.v... He pinches the computer more now.... Hummm, wonder how long i can keep it off, till i prove a point and turn it back on ???? Of, course explaining to him slow and clearly it's because of Hunter or some other good reason it's back on- not because i crummbled.
Matt and I have been having some issues. But working them out. He's well and ready to kill hunter with he's drum stickes every now and then.
The Back has been worse than ever. Losing some weight, stress, and a broken beauty bed to work with at work seems to be the major reason. Though some nerve damage going on too.
Have an appointment tomorrow for the back- an insurance appointment, so not looking forward to it. They work for the insurance, and are there to prove i'm a fake (grrrr- so so mad at people who use and abuse the system- makes it so much harder for us "real' people) I'm also a Bit emotional and lost at the moment... Could be a good thing tomorrow, if i am??? or bad??? (i'm a ugly crier, red nose, puffy eyes and noisey too)
been Hot here, not much rain. dry heat (chemo and PBJ) dirt dust and flies grrrr.

Hi All,
I hope all is as well as can be, If not better! I miss you guys heaps.
I thought I better come and say Hi, and say a few things, so you know I'm still around causing madness.
I did read that Leo and a few other admins are on fixing up site (how many years now? Razz ) So I have asked Jim, If he'd like, since i'm never here much (sorry), to take me off Admin. I appriate all who have become admins and have helped Jim out with such an important part of this Forum... And therefore helped me to have a break.
I do feel awful for not being on the site much, but i was finding that my depression would go up and down, depending on if i'm here or not- not that i'm blaming the site! I guess it would just make me so so sad. Matt, hubby, suggested that I not getting on as much, or just doing the cervical Thread as i did in the start. So that's what i HAD been doing.... But life got busy. 
Work is a nightmare at the moment, I hurt my back and had 8 weeks bed rest- which was BAD. Then of course work worse....
we have been TRYING, to buy the house. A massive ring role around that decission. Still trying to get it to go through. A lot of stress for us. BUT Once I buy the house I'm thinking of opening my own business from home doing Beauty and Spa treatments.... Might run a pole here to see what people think of names for a salon.....
Dad is not real well- bowel still causing problems- another "tear area"... plus just found out he has skin Cancer on his nose, and needs to have whole face opperated on. (which the bugger left for 4 weeks to have done, till this week- as he had a holiday organised, fishing at the top of Australia (Dawin, 4-5 days straight of driving, 13-14 hours a day) !!!! sooo cranky at him..... Evil or Very Mad
Mum is stressed to the hilt and blood pressure through the roof- so trying to help out alot with them.
Hunter is very well, though starting the selective deafness thing, Been told It's a 3 year old thing??? Well He's not going to make it to 4 the way he's going. Wink
Matt Is well, putting up with my whinging, pain and stress well, Razz
AND ..... drum roll..... Just found out a few weeks ago I am Pregnant !!! I'm 8 1/2 weeks closer to 9 weeks, all is well so far, fingers crossed. I'm very shocked, but sooo thrilled. Very Happy WHHHHOOOOOHHOOOO lol.
Well Thats my life so far. I'll probably cut and paste this in the Lounge (too lazy to re write it all again) Embarassed
Take Care and We'll talk more often.
Kisses to all
Inica
