They're still trying to get rid of the fluid around his heart and trying different meds, and his temperature is WAY down.
MY GOD the TUBES on him everywhere are just NUTS. They're toying around with the idea of an angiogram on Friday. The ultrasound on his heart showed that the left ventrical is weak. If they can't get his heart rate under control, they'll have to go in and "shock it." FUCK.
I totally hated seeing him like that. I am NOT ready for this shit. NOT. I've decided to make a HARD effort to quit smoking, although stress and anxiety just make me want to smoke more. It's amazing I'M not having a fucking heart attack what with work, home, and upcoming surgery shit. JEEZ. Will Mother Nature just get this BLACK CLOUD OFF OF ME??? Who's got the fucking voodoo doll, for crying in a bucket!? Take the PINS OUT!
Then again, I talked to my girlfriend in Virginia, and THEY'RE going through hell because of all that insane bullshit at VA Tech. My thoughts and prayers are with THOSE families, for sure.
DEEP BREATHS. LOTS of 'em. And LOTS of prayers, if ya got 'em.
And hopefully, some SLEEP tonight.
Hope everyone has a happy, healthy, stress-free weekend.
Love ya, Pops!

Deep breaths, lots of prayers... and a few margaritas. Oh, I shouldn't be plying you with alcohol. Phooey. Big hugs.
I'm really hoping you get that needed sleep. I'm so sorry about your pop's condition. I'm behind you on the whole stopping smoking situation.
akelda ~ thanx for the prayers. Margs would do me a MAJOR world of good, but for pops, not gonna do it. Thanx for the hugs!
jerr ~ sleeping I am not, as Yoda might say. I used to sleep like the dead, until now. And yeah, my doc BETTER give me a discount on that fucking patch because of this whole episode with pops.
I can always find a prayer for you. Hang in there this weekend. Try the patch. It works. The first week is the hardest but if you drink a nice cup of coffee after slapping the patch on you get a great buzz. Especially during step 1.
cork ~ thanks for the advice (and the buzz suggestion)!!! ;-D
If it makes you feel any better, yesterday I interviewed a plaintiff with no legs.
We're settling that case.
Here's hoping your pop gets better soon!
....and the patch DOES work! Little Pissy smoked for years and it worked for her. :)
