I need to start by thanking every single one of you. I have not had the time or energy to reply to all the amazing supportive comments but please know that you are really helping me through this. I can handle posting Tweets from my phone... but entire emails are exhausting right now.
The situation here has been a rollercoaster. My dad came in and was worse than anyone thought. He is fighting back, but, he has been fighting all these for 38 years- since well before I was born. A LOT is wrong right now, and I think I can honestly say this is the beginning of the end. His spirit has been the main thing pulling his body along for a very very long time, and I think his spirit is wearing out. No one should have to fight as much as he has... he got dealt a really shitty hand in life and he rose to it amazingly.
Tomorrow I am flying home for a few days- will see Annie in her big play (break a leg at opening night tonight kiddo!) I plan to regroup, repack- much more underwear and yarn this time and also my kids- and return next week.
On the crafty side, I finished a sock here at the hospital but don't have the energy to cast on #2. Turns out lacy thinking type knitting=not good when you are stressed and distracted. Dad's kidney DR is a knitter (and a new ravelry friend of mine, and a quilter too!) and she has hooked me up with an LYS- tonight is thier late night and I might take a much needed therapeutic trip over there...
