Crappity

My father-in-law's had a stroke, and they're not sure whether he's going to make it through the night. My husband is looking at plane tickets to fly back east tomorrow. Not sure what I'll do -- I'd love to be there for him and my MIL, but I can't just take off and leave the kids and the critters. Not to mention that I'm still recovering from foot

So sorry to hear about your FIL. I'll be thinking of you and your family. Many hugs to you, my dear.

[willowgreen]

Thank you. He made it through the night, so I'm hopeful we'll have him around at least a bit longer.

Oh dear. Good thoughts your way and your family's way indeed.

Thanks so much!

So sorry to hear this, sending massive good vibes.

[willowgreen]

Thank you -- I think the good vibes are working, because he's still with us. :-)

I'm very sorry about your father-in-law, and the awkwardness over whether to travel.

[willowgreen]

Thank you. I'm not going anywhere right away, but my husband is flying east tonight to be with the family.

I'm sorry to hear it.

Sending many many good thoughts. (And for foot recovery, too. I have many problems in that area, so I know what it's like dealing with the recovery bit.)

[willowgreen]

Thanks! My feet are recovering nicely, and the doctor did say I could fly if necessary, but he warned me that flying too soon after surgery does put me at elevated risk of a blood clot. Not what one's spouse wants to hear when his own father has just had a blood clot followed by a stroke. :-p
