Dad is still bleeding on the inside... but they can't find where he's bleeding from.

*headdesk*

The doctor is keeping him in the hospital until the specialist comes in tomorrow.

Fuck, I hate the medical system in this country.

Hello all!

It's been a good day. Dad is home and resting comfortably as he can. He's coughing a bit, which hurts, and his ankles a bit swollen. But Hopefully he'll be back to his usual self soon.

One big change in the house I'm not looking forward to - the diet. Everything has to be low fat and low sodium. *headdesk* I have the feeling I'm going to be eating more at work than at home, which is just sad.

But still... Dad is home, and I can relax for now.

This week has been one of the most difficult to deal with. Having to deal with Dad going back into the hospital, then hearing about simons_flower's passing has been almost too much to deal with. Knowing that Dad will be having triple bypass surgery on Wednesday has me on edge, as you can imagine.

But the support of family and friends has been wonderful. I truly thank you all, and I don't know how I would manage without you. That support has led me to lend support to a couple of old friends and reconnect with them. madam_minnie and tqpannie have been dealing as best as they can with the loss of a truly great friend... their soul sister. And while our friendship may not be the way it was in the past, I will still offer my support to them and be here for them as much as I can. After all... what are friends for?

And if you would like to say a few kind words about simons_flower, please go to flowers4trisha and leave some good memories or kind words. All entries will be put into a book and given to Trisha's daughter.

As if life hasn't given me enough to deal with...

Dad is back in the hospital. He was feeling chest pains when he picked up mom from work. The hospital is keeping him overnight for observation, so it's probably not another heart attack.

Still... I didn't need this...
