I'm so sad tonight. A lot going on in my life right now and I got a call from my mom that has upset me beyond belief. While on a driving trip to Florida last week, my Dad had to pull over to the side of the road as he wasn't feeling well. He then lost consciousness and had symptoms that sounded like a stroke. My mom was on some freeway and there were no roadmarkings -- so when she called 911 she had no idea where to tell them to come. My dad is in good health - stays very active but is 71 years old. My dad came to - and said he was "fine" - so Mom took over driving and they proceeded to spend a week in Florida. They are home now and Dad had surgery two days ago - thank goodness tehy didn't have do general anesthesia with him being 71. he's home and doing well - and we're just trying to get him in to see a cardiac doctor as family is wondering if it was a heart arrhythmia and not a mini-sroke. He has never had heart problems before; so this is all just so unbelievable. I know that people lose their parents and come to live with it - but i"m not ready yet. My folks mean the world to me - even as much as we argue -- and I just don't want to face the fact that they are getting older. I just need to be positive and be thankful they are on this earth still. I have so many friends who've lost their parents and it just rips my heart out to think of what they are feeling. Please... say a little prayer for my dad for me? His name is Tuck. Thanks guys -- all my friends mean the world to me.
