Friday night started out like any other night, we left to goto our normal friday night hangout at X-Tech. Everything went just like it always does and was there for several hours. After that we headed home and started what we always do once again, listening to music and hanging with the neighbors, typical weekend. We as of that time my father was appearing normal, didn’t look like he was in any pain and he hasn’t been, he’s been pretty normal lately. Closer to 10 something he said I’m tired and I’m going to bed, he was quite intoxicated at this point as well (nothing new), so he went to bed, several minutes later mother told me he had told her he wasn’t feeling well and that he hadn’t been for sometime. So she had me go and check on him, keep in mind only a few minutes has past since he went inside. So I preceded to go check on him to find him collapsed in the floor, now this could mean two things, A. passed out from being drunk. B. Heart Attack or something similar. Well I of course ran to him to check him and he was barely breathing and it was very irregular, so I yelled for mother who ran in there, her knowing what he said before made her instantly get upset and told me to call. As I was calling she was getting even more upset as apparently he was telling her to just let him go and that he loved her, but don’t leave him alone like his fathers wife did to his father. As this was going on I was still on the phone, I tell you 911 takes too freaking long to get there, I bet it was a good 15-20 minutes before they got there and I could drive two either local hospital’s twice in that time. So I was getting pist as well, mean while him barely hanging on, to note this isn’t the first time this has happened, last time was ‘92 and before that was ‘87 or so. So they finally got there, did their thing, got him loaded and off to the hospital (not going to explain every detail there). We arrived at the hospital, we through the typical stuff you gotta do, etc, then about 30 minutes later after quite a few calls and family showing up; they called us to go back there (mom and I), at this point he was awake at least conscious now and talking, but still weak and not happy we took him there, as keep in mind he hates hospitals, doctors, etc. So not long after we seen him, we had to bring in his Boss & Best friend to calm him back down to keep him in there as he of course wanted to leave, not to mention they wouldn’t let us pick a hospital and the one he’s in is the same one that killed his mother (yes true story, long one too). But anyhow we got him calmed down to stay finally, this being around 11-12 something and he had a nurse that was pretty decent and was joking with him and keeping him happy so he was willing to stay, so by 3:30am he was stable, on straight nitroglycerin and wanted us to go home and get rest, as he would still be in the ER room for a few more hours. So we went home, cleaned up the mess, etc, then went to bed, got up the next morning and headed up there after calling to find out which floor. We got there, found out the room and by the time we got to the room he was coming out of it pist at the nurse he had that morning, apparently she tried to give him a new IV full of air bubbles and then preceded to beat the IV to get rid of them, he caught her and had enough, as you know air in your blood will kill you if it hits a organ. So he left the hospital and came home, ‘course minus the nurse ordeal we and everyone else wanted him to stay to find out the issue, not keeping leaving like he did in ‘92. So at this time he is home, stable, and seams to be feeling okay after a ton of sleep, he says he’s not in any pain but who knows he’s very secretive. I hope for the best and hope he gets better, we shall see, he says he will stop the drinking so lets see if that helps or if he even does.
So lets hope for the best and see what comes of it, hopefully good but I’ll just have to face that he could leave us at anytime, not something I want to carry around but nothing I can do about it.
Hopefully I got everything in there.. I’m sure I did, hope it makes sense! Cheers people…
