Just Pass Me By

Man, I am tired. This weekend wasn’t good. Lets see I blogged about what happened on Friday night. Dad took a fall, he was okay. Sunday dad fall asleep on the couch and his heart rate had dropped seriously low. He started aspirating and not responding to me. I was very concerned about him, normally I can rouse Dad from his sleep but couldn’t and he was puking. I was able to get him in a position that he could puke up with out coking on it or worst. The EMT came right away! I will say Clackamas County EMTS and Fire department I am impressed with they got here very fast. They had to shock dad heart to get it beating at a pace that was good. So Now I am once again behind in my practicum class, and have fallen behind in my social cultural class, and I am exhausted and have no concentration.
I responded to Dad issues in probably under a minute, within a minute from that my husband was calling 911 and very quickly they came. I am starting to wonder how much more stress I can take in this set of classes before i simply break down.
I normally do not cry but Sunday I just couldn’t stop from crying. I was scared for dad. By the time we got to the ER and was let in Dad was off the machine and heart rate was normal. They kept him for 2 nights because he had a similar episode overnight the first night. They took him off the beta blockers and told us low fat/low sodium diet. Okay I can do that no problem, because I already do that at home. This weekend I really realized how many things I gave up since moving her. Now I would still do this again, but if I could go back I would have brought my guitar with me. It my outlet that I really need.
Dad came home today from the hospital you know, I didn’t sleep good while he was at the hospital, but I felt a lot better that they had a thing on his bed to indicate he gotten up. I was worried he might fall there at the hospital. I have to say I am impressed with the hospital too.
