Hella day yesterday.  Chasing an ambulance across two Kentucky counties at 100 mph.  Sit n wait while the docs do an orthoscopy and implant a stint in my Da.    Huge improvement in his cognizance when they brought him out while wheeling him to ICU for the night.  He’ll be in the hospital for a couple three while they make sure he’s ‘good to go’.  Stubborn mule he is, He’ll be copping feels on nurses before end of shift tomorrow.  Heck, he had already charmed one before they even started surgery on him,,,(and ya gotta believe me, that is not a skill I inherited from him.  The ol man can walk through an airport and leave with a dozen phone numbers of stewardesses,,,,,)

Middle Sis arrived on scene late last night, expect the other two over the next couple days.  Da is harping ‘they need to stay home, I’m FINE!’  yup, F.I.N.E. fine dad, fucked up, insecure, neurotic and exhausted,  fine. I ain’t gonna be the one to tell ’em to stay home when You’re the one that just had his feet dangling over the side of a grave, unuh, no ways,,,,   Let’em come say the ‘future goodbyes’ cuz ya just let us all know your time is very finite, and when you go, it ain’t gonna be a long protracted thing where we can all come and be by your side. (And while I hate to say, I must: thank the small gods for that.  I really couldn’t handle witnessing a long wasting death.)

Yup, the ol man is still kicking,  but I think this was a wake up call to him.  But damned if I wasn’t scared shitless that he was leaving me yesterday.  Yeah, your faithful blogger here, was a blubbering snot running S.O.B. for a bit.  Scared me silly, but I never lost functionalality and when they relocated him, I drove that truck like I stole it and the poor beast was smokin’ hot (literally!) when I parked at the new location.  Blew all the soot out and resurfaced the tires with all the squalling they did after some jackass cut me off. (Double yellow? What double yellow? Vrroooooommmmm!!!!)

More laters,,,
