Brief Answer:
I suggest you to go to XXXXXXX and stay with your father he gets better.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As I see through your query, your father has a complex medical condition.

The hypertension and high blood sugar are chronic diseases which should be maintained under control through regular treatment.

The surgery of the prostate should be done only after the blood pressure and the blood sugar are stabilized.

As per your query I think you should go to XXXXXXX and be with your father until his medical condition gets back to normal.

I also recommend your father to do regular check ups of blood pressure and glycemic level to maintain them under control.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
