The Body Remains of the Day
My dad fell down in Kroger today and hit his head. He was conscious but confused, so they took him to the hospital E.R. to check on him and do a scan. He is there right now.
I didn't want to bury the lead.
When it rains, it pours. Often it isn't rain, it is money and drama. Guess who's computer monitor is going out? Yeah. Mine. Buy new eyes for $$$ and have to spend more on new computer parts now. I wonder what else is going to happen. Now I am hearing suspicious noises coming from my computer chair, so... sheesh. Pour, pour, pour!
Life. Rollercoaster. Expensive ticket. And who knew there would be toll booths on the ride too! 😛
I left to go get a new computer monitor and get my sister's mail at her place (she is hospitalized right now). Half way into the 20 mile drive my check engine light came on. Ok. That's another brick in the wall for me today. On my drive back, still 20 miles away, I get a call from my dad's phone, but it isn't my dad, it is a manager at the grocery store telling me my dad fell and was being taken to the hospital by ambulance. She filled me in on the details. He didn't slip and fall, he just fell backwards while standing at the customer service desk.
So, I have to write phone numbers down while driving because the emergency shoulders are shut down due to construction. I was freaking out because I had my phone on my shoulder and a pen and paper in my hands, trying to steer.
I get home and call the numbers, find out where he was sent. Then I had to drive to that Kroger to get his groceries that were at the desk, drive them home, because they are perishable. Then I drive to the hospital, he is in the waiting section, and they can't let me see him yet. They no longer allow visitors to wait in the waiting room, only patients. I tried to wait outside but it is so hot I was sweating bullets. I can't get sweat into the eye I just had surgery on.
I drove home and am waiting for a call. Once they get him into an E.R. room and do the scan, he will either be released or put into a actual hospital room. Then I can pick him or or go visit him in the room.
This is my day today. I swear, I am under a curse. Bleh.
I think why my dad passed out was because he got up, got dressed, and left the house without eating or drinking water, and then wandered around that big grocery store. He was probably dehydrated and needed food. *sighs*
I swear... I cannot even leave the house anymore without something going wrong.
