My dad just called. He's supposed to be driving down from Seattle to spend the evening with me before we go to Fresno and see my sister run tomorrow.
Instead, he's at the hospital in Ukiah. He says he had heart palpitations and dizziness while he was driving and checked himself in. He's there now waiting to get a CAT scan for his chest.
I don't know what to do except wait by the phone. He's about three hours away, which seems close enough that I should try and drive there, but far enough that with luck, he'd be done by the time I got there. I called my sister, who immediately started crying. I wasn't really scared until that happened. She reminded me that Dad never admits weakness of any kind, and that it must be pretty bad if he took himself to a hospital.
My mom's in Washington DC and I don't have her number, so I can't call her. Greg's at work for another two hours, and isn't returning my messages. I'm all alone and totally freaked out. I can't even call Dad to check up on him, since he doesn't have cell phone service.
What the hell am I supposed to do? I hate being powerless and worried. I'm so scared for him right now.
