Well, as Darla said, I've not had internet access of late. The reason is because I've pretty much been at the hospital non-stop since 1:30 yesterday morning. Dad woke me up to tell me he couldn't breathe again, so we repeated the last scenario of calling 911, hurry up and waiting for tests results, doctor visits, etc.

The bottom line is that Dad is, once again, in congestive heart failure with some horrible renal insufficiency thrown into the mix. Today, he's better, his blood pressure's down and of course, all he heard was the doctor saying he "may" be able to go home today. He hears, "home today," and gets pissed when it's NOT today!!

So, I'm operating on very little sleep again and am just waiting to hear today what's going on. The bottom line is, Dad needs to come home, get his act together, keep up the good job he's started with not smoking and watch what he eats, particularly his salt intake, and follow up with a kidney specialist.

ANYONE HAVE A ROOM THAT HAPPY AND I CAN RENT????!!! WAAAAHHH!!!!! LOL!!

Thanks for the pm's, emails and phone calls.

I'll be back eventually.

Tia

I'm sorry to hear that you dad was back at the hospital. However, I am with him on wanting to go home ASAP! Hospitals are wretched places to be.

Hang in there.

I am so sorry to learn of these latest developments. Hopefully, the MDs will get their arms around this thing so that your Dad can get the proper treatment and return to a "normal", healthy life. Please take care fo yourself too!

So glad to hear from you. I was asking about you yesterday but felt like there may have been issues with your dad so that's why I didn't call you. I've got an extra room if you need a couple of days away!!!!

Luv ya!

I was just getting ready to send you a text message when I checked the board and saw your message. Hope Dad gets released soon and things get better for you all.

Call me if there is anything I can do.

Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
