My Dad spent 10 hours at the hospital today.
They stuck needles in him and iv'd him and diagnosed and re-diagnosed and vaugly explained why his heart was beating 160 times a fucking minute.
Seriously, the health system in this city infuriates me.
When I came home he was sleeping on the couch, swaddled in blankets with a bandage on his wrist from his ID. It was heart breaking.
There is still something in me that feels like Fathers should never be scared. It just doesn't seem right.
And this is cheesy sounding and sad making my eyes melt.
And I have to go through it again tomorrow because he has to go back at 8 a.m.

sarah that sucks super bad.
i know exactly what you mean, about having to watch the person who is your father go through that.
i will deffinitely be saying a little prayer, because i really care about larry too!
thinking about seeing someone as vibrant and happy and fun as your dad makes me really sad.
i will be thinking about this and i hope everything's oh k. i am working all week end...but give me a call if you wanna hang out if you need anything. i will be around at my usual times...

i really hope that your dad's ok. but, i hope your ok too. you feel far away. you've always been around for me when things have gotten messy with my dad. i wish i were around to do the same. i wish i were home to go with you to the esquire so you could cry in your hot chocolate and then i could escort you to the mall so that you could take comfort in bad shopping decisions. but, i'm not. you know i don't go to prayer in times of need. but, i am certainly thinking of you and your whole family.
love and long distance hugs

Thanks ladies.
He's actually doing a little better, he's been "diagnosed" but it's all weird and medical and out of my scientific league. I just get freaked because I feel like it's only a matter of time before something serious happens.
But thank you.
