yeaaah...so i gave in..i figure this way people can be
updated on my dad and whatnot wihtout me havin to say the same thing
over and over... so lets just start from the beginningo f the month...
so my family and i went to florida...! it was super fun..all my brother
and i did was get up late, eat breakfast, go down to the HUGE pools and
hottubs and lay out/swim/lay out/swim, etc. so then we'd go back
upstairs, make some lunch (bc my paretns were off doing whatever) and
cool off for a lil bit..then go back downstairs and repeat the
morning's events, then come in a little early, wear actual clothes --
sometimes i wore my bathing suit still...oops -- and then went out to
dinner with our parents. then wed come home, go online for a few/watch
tv, then go back downstairs for the hot tubs. yes, plural. it was quite
possibly ne of the best vacations of my life. ever. mainly because we
never thougth my dad would be able to go on vacation again, but we were
wrong -- and i'm super happy about that! so then when we came home, my
mom was peeling ridiculously..my brother and her were like allergic to
the sun i think, so they wouldn't stop scratching themselves and had
little red dots all over : EW. and i was just REALLLLLLLLY dark....i
even had to get new makeup! yikes..! but whatever..thats startin to
fade away, althoguh i peeled a bit too...boooo.... but yeah, os then
after that everything was goin well...and then this past weekend (july
24th) my dad hadn't been feeling well.. so we took him to the hospital
on sunday bc he couldnt breathe normally, so we ended up findin out
that the stents they had put in the vessels of his heart had clogged up
again...(IN FOUR MONTHS, mind you) so then they kept him there and the
next day they put in a new, bigger, stent...and he was feeling
healthy..so the next day(when he was supposed to come home) at 630AM
his sugar came down to 25. normally, your sugar should be at 100ish.
yeah, for diabetics -- thats bad f-ing news. so they ahd to basically
feed straight glucose into his veins with the IV and he was back to
normal. so they decided to just keep him another day. so then the next
day i went in, and he waited allllll day, and so then finally the
doctor came and was liek 'well...i can tell you that he could be in
much worse shape, but because he's got twin vessels coming off of the
left artery (or something) he's alive. so basically i advice him
getting a bypass for just one vessel, and the other cardiologist doesnt
believe it necessary' so then we were like 'uhh...great, oaky so then
were basically just walkin on thin ice here...if he does have another
heart attack, what if this time it IS fatal..?' so the doctor calmed us
down and was like 'well..coem into my office this week and we'll do
stress tests periodically and whatnot,' so then we brought him home.
phew. thats all, folks! ummm with me : i went to the gin
blossoms/vertical horizon concert last night SOLELY because it was only
$5, and i didnt have anything to do! so yeah..however, i'm going to
WARPED TOUR on sunday!!!! and im OH SO EXCITED about that!!! then
hopeuflly holland this week? its all up to dana
