LONG WEEK
Man oh wow!!! This week has been the longest ever! It seems like everything that could go wrong, DID! With an exception of the career fair! That went well!!! So as you already know, my dad went into the hospital last Sunday, he had a heart cath done on Tuesday, and then had a pace-maker/defribulator put in on Friday. As if that isn't enough, they sent him home on Saturday! Yeah, I didn't think it was such a good idea, but needless to say, I'm not a doctor either. OK granted, it is normal procedure to send someone home the day after they have a pace-maker put in, but Dad's surgery was far from normal! IT TOOK 6.5 hours total! They should have seen that black flag, but no, they were in a hurry to get him home, even though he wasn't ready. So he came home and didnt do anything. Laid in bed all day. Well I went to church on sunday, and afterwards, Beth and I were on our way to meet her parents at Applebee's when I turned my phone on to make sure I didn't have any messages (I was waiting for someone to call me...YEAH...THEY STILL HAVE YET TO CALL...dumb boys), well I did have one, only it was from my mom! She left a frantic message on my voicemail saying that she had to rush Dad back into the hospital because he was having trouble breathing. So I ate dinner, and then went to the hospital. Well when I got there the lady at the desk told me that I could go on back to his room even though there were already two people back there. That caused some suspicion, but nothing to much, so I walk around the corner, and here comes my sister, SOBBING. She says to me..."Dad isn't doing well, they told us that if we had family we needed to call them and have them there." So I'm trying to console her, and keep my composure. He ended up being ok, but he is intensive care for now. He has a really bad infection and they are just trying to keep in under control. So I spent most of the weekend in the hospital. That was very draining. My brother left today for the service. That's a pretty scary thing. It kind of makes me a little bit sad, but I'm sure he'll be fine! I got back to school today, not that I was at all happy about that. I wanted to wait and come back tomorrow but of course these damn winter storms had to come up now. So my mom made me come back today. I slept for most of the day, it's amazing how exhausting being at the hospital is. I got my stupid retainers from the ortho today!! Almost finished with treatment. I don't have to go back now for 3 months. That is very very exciting! I quit the stupid cafeteria today! That was a huge stress-relief right there! I'm not one bit upset about it either! Yeah, so Wes got my letter. Didn't read it though! What the hell...I am honestly wondering why I waste my time trying to be with him. Maybe Andrew is right!! Maybe he isn't worth my time! Who knows....only time will tell!!! I just had the best conversation ever!!! It made my whole week seem so much better! I have decided that I am going to "trip" and drop my phone right when there is a CATA bus approaching and hope to GOD that it gets run over!! That way I can get a new phone! LOL....but honestly, I have to figure out something. I need a new phone, and my insurance will cover it if it gets run over. So I'm going to pray that it works!!! My prayers are filled these days. Between my dad, my grandpa, my brothers, my mom, my sister, myself. I could really use anyone else's prayers. Please just keep me and my family in your prayers...It would be much appreciated! Until next time...Over and out!
