I don't know what to do

[roxy]

This is the third time my dad's been sent back to the ER from his nursing home. I'm about to head out there now. I'm feeling some stress about this, and it's kicking up all my physical problems. I don't think I can spend all night in the ER again.

ETA: ♥ you guys, thank you *so* so much. I appreciate your good wishes and your excellent advice. I'll answer you all tomorrow, and hopefully will have some better idea about my dad. Thank you again. *HUUUUUUUGS*

What would I do without you all?

I am so sorry. I'm going to pray for him. I wish there was something I could do for you. I don't ever want you to be unhappy.

I have been there so I understand. There is nothing you can do but wait most of time, helpless and tired both physically and mentally.
Hope your dad gets better.

Ah, bb.
*hugs*

Okay, what happens in the ER? Is he sedated? Are you sitting with him, or is he off somewhere and you're waiting? Does he talk, wanting someone there, or is he dozing, in pain, testy?

You don't *have* to be there. Go and see what's what, see if he's comfortable, talk to him a little, and then *go home*. Exhausting yourself and kicking your own health issues into high gear isn't a helpful *or* a good thing.

He knows you love him, bb - you can still love him at home. Go see him in the morning, again, that's all.
*hugs you tight*

All good thoughts.

I'm sorry. That's so stressful. You need to make sure you get some rest too.

I'm so sorry. I wish you and him the best. Try not to stay all night if you can get him settled in, you need your health.

HUGS,
Jackie

Oh no. I'm so sorry, Roxy. Such a troubling situation. I don't have any advice better than tabaqui, so I'll just say I hope you follow it, and I will be thinking of you, your dad, and the rest of your family during such a hard and stressful time. {{{HUGS}}}

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I'm keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers and sending positive energy your way. Remember he needs you to be well too. I know it's stressful and you want to be there but you must pace yourself.

Hello Honeyist,

Sorry I'm late with the hugs and well wishes and hugs and more hugs. The big good ones that go all the way around and hang on tight with a little bit of rocking and kisses on the side of the forehead. Those kind.

So please have the Mister apply liberaly until slight bone melting occurs and soothing relief melts inside. :-) Wish I could remember how to make the hearts...just pretend they are right here.....

XXOOO,
me

Sweetie,

With everything going on with mom I missed this post. Thank goodness things are looking better for your dad, now. I'm so glad, both for you and him.

What is with this year and putting all our poor parents through the wringer? I've seen post after post like ours lately. The universe just needs to stop already.

*hugs you really hard*
