Mixed Emotions
Saturday night my mom had to rush my step dad to the emergency room. He has been having heart problems and has been seeing a cardiologist. She recently put him on blood thiners and within a day or two he was exhibiting mild stroke symptoms. He's not having a stroke and he's not having a heart attack. They think a small blood clot from his heart went to the back of his brain. He having a hard time with short term memory and is in the hospital until they finish all these tests.
My mom is really good under pressure. She's handling it all in stride. I'm not sure how I really feel about the whole thing. Jimmie and I have a love/hate relationship. Sometimes he can be really awesome and others I would like nothing to do with him. He's a very cold and hard person and anything he does for you he expects repayment at least threefold. I'm not happy that he's ill because that's the normal reaction for when someone is sick but I'm having a hard time mustering the appropriate amount of concern. I hope he gets better. I wonder how serious it has to be before I get worried
