It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.

Ok its a real post this time for reals.

A couple of things are happening at the moment that have me sad, depressed, and worried.

First my father was on his way home from work and hit a deer. His car is in the shop, I took him to get a rental on my way to work yesterday.

Then my grandfather has a problem. My mother takes care of my grandfather because she wasn't happy with the way the home he was in was treating and taking care of him, so now he lives in my parents house. He has dementia and Alzheimer's and its getting worse. He is forgetting how to do anything for himself, so needless to say its a full time job for my mother. He doesn't like my anyone but my mother or sister to help him out so those two have to coordinate plans. My father watches him and just yells because he can't do anything and has to be constantly told to do things, my father and I share a short patience. My grandfather blatantly refuses to let my brother and I do anything for him. Anyway, back to the problem, my grandfather was admitted into the hospital because he wouldn't eat anything for a couple of days. Once in there, they find that he has a kidney stone that he can't pass, so he has to get surgery today to get it taken out.

Meanwhile, my father just transfered to a new doctor and they decided that he needed to have a stress test done. He went in today and they found blockage in arteries that lead to his heart and found that his heart is in bad condition. They decided to medi-vac him to York Hospital from Gettysburg and he will be undergoing some surgery.

My mother is currently with my grandfather at the Gettysburg Hospital. When my sister gets off of work, she will relieve my mother and I will take my mother to York Hospital to see my dad.

We also need to pick up the rental car from Gettysburg Hospital and get it back to the Rental place. Luckily with my townhouse in Gettysburg I live about 5 minutes from the Gettysburg Hospital.

This week has been a roller coaster of events and emotions. I know things will work out eventually, but right now I'm rather depressed. I hope things are better by the end of this awful week.
