Something I want to report in. My father is in the hospital after nearly choking to death over something he’s been trying to cough out for years.
\nBasically what Mother told me (I was at home as usual) is they were going to a restaurant. Father’s Sister was in the car with them. They got there, then Father said he was going to try to spit out something, so they left the car, he got out and started having trouble breathing. Couldn’t breath. So his Sister drove him and Mother to the hospital. Then after dropping him off there, they came here, dropped Mother off, I unlocked the door for her and got the story from her as she cried.<\/p>\n
They say he has Congestive Heart Disease. Just a week ago when they returned home, Mother’s telling me that Father’s got something stuck in his throat. Turned out to be nothing more than a scare. This is more serious.<\/p>\n
Anyway, he’s OK and he’ll live. So thank the mighty lord for that. They gave him a Nexium.. you know, The Purple Pill? They’re also giving him blood pressure medicine. However they haven’t released him.<\/p>\n
Mother’s been crying over it, but mainly about the stress Father gets from working and how they’re going to have to pay such a hefty hospital bill. Me and the neighbors have been trying to calm her down, but being calm isn’t going to pay the bills.<\/p>\n
I find that this is his own damn fault. If he went to the doctor when something was wrong with him, they wouldn’t be in this mess. But it’s too late now. Hate to have to come down so hard on her, but apparently tough love is the only thing that works.<\/p>\n
Yet I’m being told that since this now runs in the family, the same fucking thing could happen to me<\/strong>. Irony, huh? So now I have to watch what I eat… again. No more heavy snacking when bored. I have to watch my god damn Sodium intake now.<\/p>\n You can’t tell how much this sucks. But our neighbor claims if I want to keep my “loving family” stress-free, I have to set a good example. But enough about me. I’m concerned that Mother may try to commit suicide over this. So I need to watch her closely.<\/p>\n We don’t know when he’ll come back home or if he’s going to go right back to work after this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Something I want to report in.
