What the fuck just happened
Today was a clusterfuck. I'd planned to dick around and spend all day roleplaying but that's not what happened.
My mother had a heart attack this afternoon.
She's in stable condition now, and has been flown to Edmonton for further treatment. Dad will be driving down there tomorrow morning, and I will stay here. As far as we know, she'll be okay.
The next couple of weeks are going to be a bit busy, I should expect. Considering.
Man. And to think, she didn't want me to call the emergency line right away, said that I should wait until dad got home. I'm glad I didn't listen.
This isn't the first time she's had one either, though I didn't know about that before today. No surprise that I didn't know - in our family one does not talk about one's health problems with one's children; it is not considered Respectable to do so. But I wish I'd known. Ugh.
So. There it is, then.
Likelihood of sleeping tonight is... very small. Oh, well.
[edit] Ahh, thanks for the well-wishes, y'all. No worries, it'll be fine. I've received word that she reached Edmonton in good time and that everything is going to be okay. Hope y'all don't mind if I don't reply to everybody individually.
