He feels fine, but I feel like crap!

I found myself in a strange predicament when my Dad returned home.  I was happy to see that he felt good.  In fact, he was one happy customer.  You wouldn’t have even known he’d spent five days in the hospital.  He felt better than he had for two months. I, on the hand, felt like […]

My Dad was sent home five days after he was admitted to the hospital.  What a confusing day that was!  The doctor had informed me that my Dad might be home that day if he did well on his hospital walk.  Boy, was I surprised when my Dad called at noon (he hates the phone) […]

Emergency–Don’t Panic!!!

Over the last few weeks, I’ve had to experience some things I’ve never gone through before.  I’m going to blog about them in hopes that it might helps someone else.
