I thought my dad was doing better, but this morning his chest xray looked worse, and by the afternoon he had a procedure where they drained over a liter of fluid from his lungs. My father is no VIP ( well to me he is)...he's just this elderly medicare patient, yet the care is just so appropriately decisive. If the decision were left to me, I would have wanted to wait another day( for more evidence of worsening), so as not to put him through another procedure. It's weird...I came down here expecting to have to get involved with the care, to get the hospital to do something, but they are doing what needs to be done. I feel grateful at the moment.
( well, then again, my father did get a hospital acquired infection, so I can rail at them for that).
I am seeing as I type this that I have transferred my feelings onto the hospital, as some sort of defense.
Anyway, none of this has to do with SSM but I need a place to sort things through, so thanks.
Hey Lil, I have found myself saying the She'ma a few times...it works, sort of!
