Dad went into the hospital yesterday at 6 PM. I had to call several times about a bed. It was frustrating, but better than waiting in the ER ...the ER is filled with RSV patients. When we got there there were no doctor's orders for him. I left at 8. Because the Green line is shut down in Boston I called a cousin for a ride home. I will be surprised if he is home Thursday.

My anxiety is kicking in. They did blood tests last night 6 different tests..all but one was normal. His magnesium is fine. I did not open the reports as I really dont understand lab work. I now that some levels will be off because of the fluid and too much torsimede kills the kidneys. I think he has kidney failure on top of things.

My anxiety is pretty much financial at this point. I should see about my 401k as I may have to cannibalize some of it. I think Im old enough not to have to pay the penalty.

I did do something good yesterday before going to the hospital;. I went to the giant HMart in my city and bought a tom of veggies. Before I head out to be with Dad today I will do a giant stir fry so I have something healthy to eat.

Trying to plan my round to the hospital today. No Green Line means taking busses. Busses during the week are slow, but usually filled with workers. On Sundays there are not as many busses so it could take a couple hours to get home. There are also no hospital shuttle busses. Tomorrow I will have both the hospital shuttle and the green line so it should be easier.
