My Dad had a stroke last week. Apparently, he stopped taking his blood pressure meds a few months back, because he didn't feel like taking them.
Just last week he was yelling at the TV watching the Super Bowl eating chips.
Yesterday, he could barely speak and I had to cut up his food at the hospital because he can barely hold a knife and fork or swallow without choking.
My mother has a heart condition and is petrified.
My brothers never got their driver's licenses (idiots), so I have to drive everyone around, do all the shopping and figure out how Daddy paid his part of the bills.
Then go back home to deal with my own (broken) relationship, house and work.
I realize the universe must be testing me with all the crazy that's going down but lately, but I wish life came with a syllabus, so at least I could be prepared for this shit.
Will write more fic when I can.
Thanks for you patience.
This has been your friendly neighborhood rant.
As you were.
