At the Hospital
I have cracked the internet codes and craziness here at the hospital. I'm in Gadsden, Alabama with my dad. He was brought in Wednesday night and it looked grim enough for my sister to call and say, You should come. I drove through the night, got here at 3:15, stayed at the hospital for a while and went to my sister's to sleep.
While we were here yesterday (Thursday) he was pretty incoherent and not doing too well. We are slowly figuring out what is currently wrong. Of course, there are things that have been wrong for years, including just general not-taking-care-of-himself. One of the reasons we're in this situation right now is that he pretty much refuses to go to the hospital before stuff gets out of control.
Some of this trip has been fun, especially seeing my sister and cousin. But the moments of laughter are very alternated by moments of non-fun and questioning and wondering what is going on.
All my best thouths are with you.
