When it rains, it pours

Actually, it's snowing.

I could just make this easy and say Mom in the hospital, Dad in the hospital, Mom in the hospital, Dad in the hospital, and on and on. Oh, and with rehab centers in-between. So now my father is in the hospital. Long story short...he went on a bus trip with the Seniors to Dover Downs to gamble, against our wishes, mainly because of all the time he'd be sitting on the bus. Well, he sat for way too long and when they got back to the Senior Center he couldn't get up. No strength. This is what landed him in the hospital last time...the start of it. People on the bus got him off and into a chair in the parking lot. They called the nearby health center, and after checking him out, called the ambulance. My sister Lisa, who had just come home from work and was in her pajamas drove to the hospital and waited hours for a doctor to see my dad. They'll transfer him to a Kaiser approved hospital and keep him at least overnight. I won't be surprised if they keep him for a while and he ends up in a rehab/nursing center. Again. And my poor mom is home alone. I'm so thankful that my sister went to the hospital. I was at work during all this.

Well, a new saga begins. We'll handle it. I'm so lucky to have most of my family so close by, and have a family that works together.

Tired and ready to say goodnight to Tuesday.
