OY VEY! So, about ten minutes after my last post - where I said I hadn't been online for a week - I had to call the emergency squad for my father.
About ten minutes after I posted, I kept hearing that weird noise you hear when you lift the receiver while you're online. I thought Dad was watching something on TV, but after the third time I figured I'd better get up and take a look. The old man was in his room, picking up the phone, holding it to his ear and then putting it back down. I asked him if he needed to call someone, who he wanted to call. He seemed very confused, and couldn't tell me - in an intelligible way - what he wanted. He became agitated when I told him I couldn't understand what he wanted. I *really* got scared when he picked up the TV remote and put it to his ear like a phone. Aiiiiiiiiiiii!
I told him I was calling the emergency squad. Then he really got agitated. He went back in the bedroom and started saying that his stomach was killing him. I got him back in bed and called the squad.
To make a long, involved story short, he's still in the hospital, but is on the mend. Today for the first time in a couple of weeks, he knew my name when I asked, and when the nurse asked if he knew "the lady in the corner," Dad looked in my direction and said, "That's my daughter." Yay! Dad had a raging infection caused by an abscess on his liver. It's been drained and it seems as though Dad just might get back to himself after all. I am most pleased. :-)
The show of support to my last post left me overwhelmed and nearly in tears (I'm a huge softie, I know). This is the first time I've been online (for fun) since Dad went in the hospital, and I'm slooooooooooowly making my way through my email. Bear with me if it takes a while. :-) If I owe you money (eeeks!), I'm mailing the funds tomorrow!!!
Non-Dad stuff...
Because of course everything in my life needs to happen AT THE SAME TIME, I just learned that illuminations.nu had a bit of trouble while I was away dealing with Dad. It should be okay now, it's fine for me. Sorry about that! Like I said, everything seems to happen at once!
Naturally, because I haven't been checking up on JC every minute of every day, I missed his appearance on The Ghost Whisperer last Friday. Waaaaah, dammit! Was it good? Was *he* good? When do they start playing reruns? Damn it Chasez, you're not supposed to do this stuff without me. ;-p
