Sorry to leave my post yesterday so vague but I didn’t have much time to sit down and actually type up a decent post. But I have a few minutes this morning as I try to peel back my eyelids to let in the new day. Sometimes I think I should buy some extra Scotch tape and just use it to keep my eyes open 
Anyway, I told you yesterday I would be back to explain the hospital comments. Tuesday night, not certain the date and not that important anyway, my dad had a minor heart attack and had to be taken to the hospital. He has since been taken off the ventilator and is breathing fine on his own. The doctors say his heart looks normal and healthy so the heart attack didn’t cause too much damage to the heart. However, three months ago my dad broke his ankle. Now, this man only does things one way and half-ass just isn’t it. He sheared his tibia and fibula off just above the ankle. His foot doctor misdiagnosed it as gout and so my dad’s ankle was left as such for almost three months. As a result a massive infection set in and started running a muck. In an attempt to save my dad’s life the doctors have amputated his left leg from just above the knee. The surgeon told us, in order to get ahead of the infection he had to go that high. Which means, in three months this massive infection and crept all the way up his leg damn near into his knee. According to the doctors, the infection in his ankle could be the cause for most of his problems at the moment. Either way, it’s been 36 hours now since the amputation and Dad has seemed to make 180 degree turn around. He is still in isolated ICU because he has MRSA and I realize at any moment everything could come crumbling down again and he might be right back to knocking on death’s door but for the time being we are all hopeful and everything looks to be on the road to recovery.
I will keep you updated with any new information as I am made aware it.
And don’t worry, I do have some happy news to report. But I don’t have the time to type it up and get it to all of you. But I promise, it will make you smile. Hint: collaborative writing project between my wife and me!!
