Eltanin Sadachbia I am bit overwhelmed right now. My dad went to the hospital yesterday for pain in his chest. They kept him overnight because they couldn't determine the source of his pain. Some of the test came in this morning that indicated that he may have had a heart attack. The hospital decided to do an angiogram and they discovered 3 twisted arteries. It turns out that the 4 to 5 hours dad was in pain yesterday, he was having a heart attack! So, first thing in the morning he is going in for triple bypass... I have been watching the kids that mom and dad are keeping so mom can be with dad, and I am frazzled anyway... Those girls are so high maintenance! One of the girls just has to have your eyes on her at all times, whether she is cheering, or singing, or just being plain goofy.... GAH! My kids are such a dream comparatively. On top of that, I haven't been sleeping well, and now, my dreams have this horrible morbid awful bent to them. I have regained some of my ability to wake up, but I am so tired, that I actually argued with myself whether to endure the dream and let it play itself out, or wake up and try to start over again last night.... All I can do right now is fight warring urges to laugh at my absurd wussiness, or cry out my fear and frustrations. I just want Dave to be home so I can cuddle into his fuzzy chest and feel safe and protected. I wish he worked days so he could lay down when I do. Well guys, sorry for the rant, but thanks for the opportunity... G'nite, and if I'm not around for the next few days, this is why... My best wishes to you and your family, keep your hopes up

Hey guys, just checking in while I actually have a computer. I'll be on for a few minutes and possibly every once in a while over the next month, only if I have permission, though. *sad face*

Hope things work out for you, Elta! heart
I have just become the proud new owner of some new furniture and LOTS of new pots and pans. Well, they're new to me. I'm inheriting them from a dead tenant. sweatdrop It makes me feel more like a pirate than ever.

@Elta: My grandpa went through a triple bypass heart surgery a few years ago. It's not as dangerous as it seems, yes it's the heart and there are endless things that can go wrong, but I think it really depends on what surgeon your dad gets. I'm sure all will go well, and know that even though I don't have a religion really and don't pray sweatdrop I give my hope to you!
@Scarlet: wow what did they die from? Did you know them well?

Throat cancer. He was really a nice guy, and I kind of miss him. He actually died in the apartment, so it's a little creepy being in there and dividing up his belongings with his niece.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts, wellwishes, and prayers.
I have only good things to report tonight...
Dad's surgery went smoothly, he is in ICU tonight, but he is in high spirits and as ornery as ever, he should have his very own room tommorow, and if he does have to share a room, I feel sorry for the guy he will be sharing it with. LOL
Tomorrow is my last day having to sit with the girls. Their dad finally got Social Services' full clearance to take the girls to live with him. I will miss them, yet I will be glad to be able to rededicate my life to my own kids, and I am glad that dad will have a peaceful house to recover in.
Anyway, Thanks again you guys. Lots of love. I am off to bed.

I sympathize with the level of stress... I've not been able to keep my problems to myself lately, how fed up I am with them. we're here for you, if you need anyone to talk to, and I'll do whatever I can to help (though I regret to tell you that it can't be much).

Snuggling in a dog pile sounds so comfortable right now. Of course almost anything sounds comfortable to me right now since I've only achieved 12 hours of sleep in the last 80 hours, and I've been up for a straight 30 hours at this moment.
**snuggles with random arm as if it's a teddy bear.**

So, had a LONG, and stressful day... but it ultimately ended well.
My brother needed help finishing some minor details on the plane my dad was working on before the heart attack, so I went to help. Then I came home and ran around the house trying to get some of my neglected jobs done.
Then I gathered my kids and went to stay with the girls 'til their dad came, but when I got to mom's house, I got a phone call. Turns out that they wouldn't be able to go back to live with their dad this weekend, and it would have to wait until Tuesday, so I nearly stressed because my weekend was already planned full to the brim, and now I would have to somehow cave on all the people and plans that were relying on me...
But, about an hour after stressing and dumping what obligations I could for tomorrow, I got a call from their dad, and he said he was picking them up anyway. It is his week for visitation anyway, so he would just hang out on the south side of the state for the weekend and keep his girls with him while he did so.
So, now I have cleared a slate of work for tomorrow, and I don't have to watch kids, and I will get to spend more than 15 minutes with my dad tomorrow. No trip to Saint Louis in the wee hours of the morning, no opening the Hanger and waiting for the men to check out their plane before leaving. No trying to plan birthday happenings for the family (my friend took that over). And best of all, NO children that are not my own. sweatdrop
I still have allot of running to do, but I gained 6 hours to do it in by losing the St. Louis trip, and 2 hours for not having to watch guys decide if they are satisfied with work done to their airplane. I feel better. LOL
The last call I got from mom was news that dad could be home as early as Sunday.
