The workday went okay at home. No computer problems. Yay. I do need to learn how to communicate with my coworkers when I am remote. They are not used to dealing with someone remote so when I ask questions they hesitate to respond. I think it's because English isn't their first language so they don't like to put anything in writing. Maybe I should text so they don't feel intimidated. They all text...all day long. Perhaps email is too formal. I like email for CYA purposed. Dad had a Dr appointment at 3. It was the whole purpose of me working remote. At 3 PM the boss, who is on vacation, started texting to make sure I had enough to do since I am training myself. I had emailed her at 4:30 in the morning to tell her what I was up to. Sadly I have a hard time doing the same things over and over again when they maybe wrong. This is not training...but it's all I've got. The Dr. visit didn't go great. He has a slightly enlarged spleen that maybe causing platelet issues so I need I need to make an appointment to see a hematologist. Dad's BP was really really low but he felt fine. No fluid. No dizziness. Was able to walk to and from the car without issue....not out of breath. The NP was still concerned and paged the Cardiologist. 12 calls later and we have a 9:30 appointment tomorrow morning to check out the bp. !2 calls...sigh. The phone is driving me batty. And during those calls There were 2 other appointments being made one on 11/11 with a pulmonologist and another on 9/14 for pulmonology rehab...I have no clue why. I still need to have an appointment with the pharmacy and nutrition. They were supposed to call me back last week. If his platelets are wrong then he can't have the heart pump. If his lungs are not right he can't have the heart pump. He also needs a colposcopy and a spleen check up. And somewhere in there I need to have his cataract consultation and surgery.... Im not sure how I can learn work with all this distraction. If I don't have this job then I can't work until after his heart pump surgery or his passing... If I don't work I can't keep my house as I have no help. I don't want to live in the cellar. I need a plan. I just needed to get to January. That's all. I need to fill out some insurance papers by Friday. I need the deadline. I have put it off for 8 years. I still need to schedule my 3 root canals. Glad I am not in pain. I think the blood in my eye may have been from one of the bad/dead nerves. I need to call my Texas Uncle and fill him in on what is going on. Not that I expect help... but he should know if Dad is going to drop. I think I will call my Dad's sister this weekend. She at least hears me when I talk to her. On nicer notes...I have my personal laptop hooked up to my giant monitor. It's nice. Saturday Dad turns 82. Today was the 2 year anniversary of his Quadruple Bypass. He wants to spend the day at a casino. The veil is thin this time of year. I wonder if Ma is reaching...
