My father, mother, and sister finally made it home on Monday from lovely Marysville, WA. Not quite the same as Rome. At least my other sister was in Germany for the majority of that time.
So, what did my father do to celebrate his return to Saratoga? Well, he went to the emergency room with an elevated heart rate. At least the nice doctors did remove the catheter he'd been sporting for the last ten days or so.
I think Roberta was at the doctors with one parent or the other at least 8 times while she was away. My mother had to go twice because of nosebleeds that could be related to her warfarin.
My father goes to see his regular doctor today to see if they can figure out what is wrong (I know what's wrong. He's old and doesn't take care of himself. But I'm not a doctor) His Kidney failure is at level 2. At level 5 is when you start doing dialysis. He's also got A-Trib, which is what is causing his pulse to race.
Roberta is at her whit's end. What pushed her over the cliff is that they were on the way to celebrate her son's birthday when they were diverted to yet another emergency room visit.
She tapped out and I'm coming to the Bay Area for the weekend to give her a couple days break.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
