The Good:
I start CNA classes on Aug 18th.
The Bad: I'm home alone for a week, if not more. While some see this as a good thing, its going to be really quiet and empty around here.
The Ugly: Cause of The Bad is due to my mom staying at the hospital with my dad. He's been there since Friday and from the looks of it.. might not be coming home.
On top of being dehydrated, his calcium levels are 67% higher than they're suppose to be, his sodium is high, his protein and potassium are low. His kidney is weakening (keep in mind, he only has one, and its got a capheter tube coming out of it), he has a urinary track infection because the doctors didn't cover up the tubing right the last time. But the worst of all, is that the cancer in his bladder has now spread. When the doctors opened him up a week ago, air got into the cancer and made it grow. Its now attached to the surface of his stomach, its so enlarged its pinching into the nerves for his groin and lower body, and has spread to his spine. Now, they also think its at the base of his neck but they're unsure if its that or calcium build up.
Its been rough, its still rough, and its just going to get rougher.
