Dad stuff...

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

Oh, excellent news that your dad is getting better! Fingers crossed that the infection was the cause of all the confusion and he'll make a full recovery.

*hugs you tight* I have the file(s) from his appearance on the show; when you get home, or whatever, and want to dl them, let me know--I'll upload 'em for you.

I'm glad your dad's getting better, honey. For both your sakes. *hugs you some more*

I'm so glad to hear the good news, darlin'.

Do not worry, the fandom is ready to hook you up with JC's moment of glory whenever you need it. ;)

Oh I'm so glad they discovered what was wrong and he's getting better! *hugs*

I watch GW fairly regularly, and this was one of the worst episode ever. LOL ... JC was ok, but he was only in like 2 scenes. But they DID play Until Yesterday for a few seconds. :)

Thanks! :-) For a while there I didn't think I'd be seeing pre-illness Dad again. ((((hugs)))

ROFL! Dude, it figures. Poor JC.

Such great news about your Dad.

Funky monkey girl! YIPES with the scary -- somehow I missed your last post and I am *so* glad that things are looking up for you and your dad. Hand in there!

It was *extremely* scary, but hopefully things are looking up. I just about died when he didn't know who I was. :-( It's *such* a relief that he's on he upswing! Thanks. :-) (((kaelie)))

Oops, meant to add that JC's looking especially dreamy in your icon. ::le sigh::

[feenie.livejournal.com]

Oh good!!

So very glad to hear that Dad is on the mend and that Ms.Fox is able to take care of herself a bit more. *hugs* Scary when parents get sick & you have to take care of them.


*le sigh* I missed Mr Chasez too;school function for the elder neice. I really haven't seen any posts on that bit.


So glad you're happy and Daddy knows his little girl. *tears up*

I am so glad he's going to be okay. If anyone knows how that is, I certainly do.

*hugs*

I'm so glad that your dad is doing better. {{{{hugs}}}}

Thank you! I'm glad too. :-) *hugs*

it's great to hear things have turned around for your dad - I'm continuing to cross various digits for you both!

and I really don't like the show, but JC was quite good, and having Until Yesterday in the background in one scene was a lovely surprise!

[scot-ty.livejournal.com]

I know it's still serious because of his age, but I am so relieved for you, Fox. Definitely puts the happy back in Thanksgiving.

Your boy JC is supposed to be on the ABC affiliate tonight as a presenter at the American Music Awards. Out here it comes on at 8:00, and there's a red carpet run-up at 7:30. I think E! will probably have something too. I have my fingers crossed for some word on the album which at the moment seems to be a figment of our imagination. ;-)

[brighton-girl.livejournal.com]

I am glad to hear your dad is on the mend. Make sure you are taking care of yourself too!

And JC was good, but on far too briefly.
