F&*% me running in a snowstorm...

I just can't keep up!

 

Too much, too fast, too often

 

My dad's health...a summary

 

2/15 goes in for procedure to have clot removed from fistula

2/16 starts coughing up blood, goes to ER then home

2/17 starts coughing up too much blood, 911 and a ride to the ER...bleeding to much, can't do tests...gets lights and sirens all the way to big hospital a few towns over...

2/18 still bleeding, being observed

2/19 go up his leg, into his heart and over to lungs to stop bleeding

2/20 bleeding stops but has an embolism in his spine and now does not have use of his legs

2/21 in looking for answer to legs, realize that his aneurysm has grown and needs to be handled

one way of handling aneurysm will kill kidneys, so have to travel to Texas to get fixed...on his own dime!

While Dad is in hospital...Mom starts having major, serious IBS issues and has to take herself down to the ER

Things stay the same and they start looking for rehab facilities to get legs back on line while waiting for answer from Texas

2/26 I fly home, Dad goes to rehab, Mom falls apart

they start to fight and I have to keep them separated for 2 1/2 days

He is doing great at rehab and even walks 24 feet with little help

3/3 I fly back home

3/4 he starts going downhill a bit, gets a fever has to get a Foley cath, has breathing issues

3/5 transported by ambulance to yet another hospital, has 2 blood transfusions, gets breathing treatments every 3 hours for COPD issues and goes on dialysis in the am

 

I need a drink!

 

Will probably fly back home again in a week or so...

feels kind of feels good to vomit all of this out : )
