My Dad...

Was rushed to hospital an hour ago. Don't know why. My mother and his mother are there with him.

I'm going slightly mental waiting for news since I'm unable to leave the house right now.

I don't usually ask for this sort of thing but if anyone could spare a thought or prayer for him....We would appreciate that.

I know it seems bizarre, that I'm SBF'ing at 4 in the morning when I should be beside myself with worry (I can multitask, heh Sad

) but I've got to do SOMETHING to keep my mind/hands occupied. This is the best thing right now, stupid as that is...

Its weird...I'm a highly anxious person. The hand wringing, sweating, jumping at noises kind of anxious that infects the people around you. In an emergency...I'm like the eye of the storm. The only calm one while all around me fall to pieces. I'm the good one in an emergency...The clear-headed cool thinker that gets everyone organized and out the door, soothing frayed nerves and managing to usually reassure people everything will be alright...

Once it all gets settled again.....Putz go my nerves of steel. I'm currently in the semi-shut-off state where I can function fine...But my insides are jelly....I expect I'll be here until I find out something...

I hope its soon. I'm scared Sad

aww Tani! -hugs- I'm so sorry! I hope he's okay.

And, im the same way when i get nervous or scared. Nobody even knows im nervous or scared because i just sit there calm and quiet.

Thank you so much Wolfy....

Sad really, but I knew I could rely on SBF to help me get through....I love this community...I will never, ever quit this game on that reason alone.

Thanks Trin...I appreciate both your thoughts.

He was FINE yesterday....Last night he was in pain...Then collapsed at 2.30am and his mother (who he is living with since she is elderly) rang an ambulance...Then rang us since we are both up at this time for work.

No work today...

But who wants a day off because of circumstances like these? Nobody.

yes exactly, i cant say i know how you feel completly but i can sympisize for you, my mom had TTp a rare blood disease that prevents the blood from clotting, i think and if my moms roomate hadnt taken her to the hospital that night, she would have bled out in her sleep, and died, our family has faced death in the face and walked away, luckily. but i hope he gets better adn its nothing serious.

Your mum had her own angel that night! I'm glad that she is fine...

I hope, I hope I hope I hope for everything to be ok with my dad...He's my step-father, but still. Has been for 18 years so....Yeah.

His mother lives the next street over so thank God for small mercies that my mum didn't have to go far to pick her up on the way to the hospital...

Thanks SD...I appreciate that you all have kindly spared him a thought.

As of right now...I don't even know what kind of pain he was in. His mother was so frantic she could barely make enough sense for us to know he'd been rushed to hospital, let alone why...

I'm wishing and hoping and praying....

I'm not any kind of religious, but I do hope he is alright.

Finally heard something......

They still don't know whats wrong but he's on morphine so at least he's somewhat comfortable....

To add insult to injury, today is the anniversary of my grandfathers passing...

Crying or Very sad

Thanks Fire, and Rusty (yay to see you Rusty)....

Still don't know anything....His mother has calmed down enough to tell me he was fine when he went to bed at 10.30pm, he tried to get out of bed around 2.30am, collapsed, and told her he'd been in pain all night.....

Manly men being what they are....If he'd told her sooner... Confused

I'm praying for your father, Tani. Sad

I'm so sorry. I know a little what its like, being worried out of your mind, not being with them and not sure whether they're going to be okay. My mother was in the hospital a few months ago, actually 5 times. I still don't know why she went. I was told it was minor but I still grew more worried everytime she went back. She was fine, she is now and I'm positive your father will be.

Best wishes!!
