It has not been a good week.
Dad went into hospital last Friday after being crippled with stomach/back pain while at work. At first we weren't too worried because the doctors said the symptoms indicated gallstones, but they phoned us on Saturday and it turned out what he had was an abdominal aortic aneurysm which needed prompt surgery. So we spent pretty much all of Saturday waiting for updates, and when he got out of surgery he ended up in the high dependancy ward, which was worrying. He's out of there now, on a larger ward and seems to be getting on not too badly, touch wood. We don't know when he's getting out, but I'm hoping to whatever deity exists out there that he continues to improve.
So I'm going up there to visit with my sister tonight, but because the gear box in her car has been acting up we are being driven by my brother. As in the brother I haven't spoken to in about three years. This could be interesting, but I'm guessing it's just going to be awkward.
ETA I had a dream that I was buying lube last night. It was weird.
