Life changes...yet again

I came to visit my family in hopes of a nice quiet peaceful vacation...Yeah...that didn't happen. Sunday I went to see my father in his alzheimers nursing home...not good. Needless to say I had quite the shock & reacted accordingly. The rest of the day I fought not to eat away my frustrations. My mom & I did go shopping & fortunately I found the 80% clearance rack so I could shop away my frustrations & still have enough money to get home. Monday...I decided I was going to have my peaceful "feel sorry for myself" day...UH Huh...you guessed it, not happenin. I get a call at 4:30pm from my mother that dad is in the ER...brother. I get showered & dressed & get there, hospitals being my favorite vacation spot, to see my dad all gowned & wired up in a trauma room..."E.R" flashbacks. He was there just for some testing due to a possible infection but being there makes everything exaggerated x 10. However...a bright spot...he was fairly cognitive & when asked who I was, he knew! Finally about 6:30pm the nurse said they were going to test for a UTI & that the results would not be in for awhile so we went to dinner. Got a call there that he was being taken back to the home, so we went home. Tuesday...need prayer postings all over FB. Visited dad in the home & he was sound asleep but looked ok. Wednesday...complete veg out day, successfully. More prayer postings on FB, one quite awful. Something in the air. Thursday, today, went to a WW meeting and I have altogether lost 5.2 pounds!! So all is not lost...God is in His Heaven...and the world will just have to deal with it.
