Woke up this morning. Tired. Not my comfy bed. Fed Dad some soup and sandwich. Opened up my laptop and started doing some work. I took a few days off, but really I'll try and complete outstanding items as necessary. Dad doesn't seem to remember many things. His last few jobs. Where he lives. What his birthday is.
Mom calls me to see Dad. She tells me to call 911. She said "Dad says he doesn't feel well.".
I call 911. Fire department arrive. Then ambulance attendenants. We go to the emerg at the hospital. It's 9:00am.
Dad is put in room #4. Well bed #4, there aren't really any rooms. We give Dad water. He pees using a bottle. He can't make it to the bathroom without assistance. He sleeps mostly. He doesn't know how many children he has. The doctor finally arrives. He'll requisition blood work and CAT scan. We wait. It's 1:00pm.
We wait. It's 4:00pm. Dad's sister and her husband arrive. They leave.
We wait. It's 8:00pm
Doctor of internal medicine arrives. He wants to admint Dad. Finally. It's 9:00pm.
We leave, exhausted.
