So this is what I'm listening to instead of writing right now because...

... last week my Mom had a stroke.

A small one, and she's kind of lost the use of her left hand a bit and needs a cane sometimes, but the docs think she'll make a full recovery.

I went out to pick up her meds two days later and came home to find my dad unable to talk.

Again.

Which meant HE was having another stroke.

So now he's back in the hospital, and it's like all those months of progress are like gone.

I asked the doctor if strokes were contagious.

My ex comes back into town while I'm away saying that I'm avoiding him on purpose.

Whatever.

Then Daddy had surgery to remove a blockage from his carotid artery and he was recovering really well.

My brothers were there so I came home Monday night in the pouring rain so I could go back to work for a bit.

And found 15 gallons of water in my basement that shouldn't be there.

Then I get a call this morning saying that last night he went into V-Fib, and they had to shock his heart to make it beat properly again.

There's another blockage somewhere.

So tomorrow morning he has to have a cardiac catheterization. That's when they go into the heart through a vein and search for more blockages.

And because he's in ICU I can't even talk to him.

And apparently I'm out of wine.

I.hate.everything.

um no, wtaf, irl, personal drabble, update
