Man, what a way to start a workday...
So I get into the office today and get a phone call from my stepmother... Now for her to call me at work means one of two things:
1) Their house burned down
or
2) Something is wrong with my dad
Guess which one it is? :(
Apparently my father was having problems with his bathroom functions the past few days (IE: couldn't go at all) and so went to see his doctor yesterday. He gets there and he gets sent to emergency STAT where they proceed to drain him and they decided to keep him overnight for observation.
Turns out now that they now want to keep him "a few days" to figure out what the hell is going on, but my guess based on what I know so far says prostate problems and likely serious ones, given his age (66) and other medical issues (diabetes) and past family history (His father died of stomach cancer in his 40's)
and the best part? While my stepmother is telling me all this she's telling me "not to panic" Uh WTF? :blink: you're damn right I'm gonna panic... as soon as I know what hospital room he's been assigned to I'm there like a bat out of hell :angry:
Sorry, needed to vent... I'm so frigging worried right now I'm ready to climb the walls :ph34r:
