Last update for the next 5 hours

 I briefly saw my dad at the hospital about 15 minutes ago. My brother and grandpa are with him, and me and my mom are back at the house. I'll be going back up in about 3 hours to visit with him until visiting hours are over, and then it's back to the house while my mom stays with him.

I hate hospitals. Always have, always will. But I always hated them cos I find myself always in them, and my surgery 2 years ago didn't really gain hospitals any brownie points either. But seeing my dad hooked up to all those machines, and hearing the alarm go off 2 different times for 3 different things cos of his heart didn't help.

He hates it too, only cos he can't eat anything good and is stuck on that uncomfortable bed with nothing to do. He's making jokes about everything right now, and telling me that I still had it worse with my surgery complications...but still.

And then he went and pointed out the irony of me drinking a Monster while he's in the hospital for his heart. He was trying to make me laugh, but it just made me feel bad.

Did they ever figure out what is wrong with his heart? I'm happy to hear that he's crackin' jokes trying to keep himself and y'all in good spirits. I don't think anyone likes hospitals. I know I sure as hell don't especially ones in Nebraska with a certain doctor *rant*. Anyways, I hope that he gets better and can go home soon. *hugs*

They're gonna run more test on him tomorrow morning, and then hopefully we'll have answers to what's going on. All we know is that his heartbeat skips and is irregular

That's scary, the heart skipping and irregular beating. I hope they can determine what it is and can fix it.
