My dad was discharged from the hospital on Saturday. They mostly kept him there because they were trying different medication to get his heart rate consistently low. Now he's got at least four bottles of pills, various amounts of which he must ingest daily. But the doctors think a viral thing could have caused all this, and that it may subside after a couple more weeks. So he'll be back to get checked on in a few weeks, and if his heart is beating normally on its own, he won't need heart-slowing pills.
Anyway, the upshot of all that was, he got out of the hospital just in time for Father's Day, and we had a good, normal yet special Sunday out, with my dad in disbelief that he was in intensive care less than 48 hours earlier.
I picked up the tab for our family when we went out to lunch that day. I liked doing that.
Working camp and the other job again. I've been up for 21 hours. I think I'll sleep around 10 hours tonight.
We are now less than four weeks away from Air Date.
