Yesterday-and a little thinking

I try to talk about my adventures of being a stay-at-home mom and I could've gone more into detail posting everyweek or every appointment.  But like I've said before, I'm lazy.  I've got a ton of guest posts that I've started to write or I've written that are sitting in my word file.  I have sent out I think 2 to be posted but it hasn't been the right time for them to be posted on a website. 

But that's not what I want to write about today.  We had a scary day yesterday and it didn't have to deal with me.  It had to deal with my daddy.  I'm a daddy's girl.  If I've got a problem nine times out of ten I go straight to my dad.  It's not that I don't love my mom or talk to her it's just the fact that especially lately we have a tendency to butt heads. 

Well, a quick summary about my dad, he just turned 72 last week. He had a heart transplant almost 11 years ago, he's a type 2 diabetic and is pretty good with his blood sugar.  Well, last Friday he was getting out of my brother's suburban (yes there are side steps) and sorta passed out, he hurt his butt and his back.  It was low blood pressure that prompted him to go to the doctor on Monday and they took him off of his BP meds.  He also had to go to his heart doctor in Austin yesterday (Wednesday) they took him off of his cholesterol meds and his diuretic as well.  The ran the normal battery of tests, bloodwork, the usual.  I talked to him while I was on the way to my appointment he sounded tired which is usual. 

I had a baby shower that evening and my mom was supposed to go, well my sister-in-law came and said that mom was just too tired to come and that I totally understand and wasn't the least bit upset.  Afterwards, I was informed by my husband and my sister-in-law that the doctor's in Austin called my parents at home and said that my dad's blood sugar was over 700.  NOT GOOD.  He was instructed to take his meds to get it down.  We left at about 9pm from their house and his sugar was at 196.  I haven't heard from anyone throught he night so things went okay.

I did all this precursor stuff so that if you had a decent relationship with your dad growing up and they are still around please call them, go visit them, quash any petty issues you may have had with them. This goes for any man that stepped in and was a father figure to you. 

Now I understand that there are some "fathers" out there who are scum of the earth and the only good thing they did was help create you.  NO ONE can blame you for how you feel and I am not going to be the first one.  I do however hope that you are better now or are striving to be better. 

I hope you have a great day, if you need someone to pray for you or your father please send me a comment I will add you to my prayer list.  Thanks for listening.
