Friday, April 2, 2010 I get a phone call from my daddy. My pappa (his dad) had fallen in his bedroom and wouldn't let daddy help him up because his arm hurt so badly. Pappa wanted Michael's (my husband's) opinion on what to do. Apparently his opinion trumps everyone else's since he is the medical man according to pappa. So, rescue is called and they take pappa to the hospital.
Once at the hospital we find out that he has a separated shoulder and two broken ribs. For most people, this would be no big deal but one has to remember this is an 89 year old man who has diabetes, has had a heart attack, heart surgery, pacemaker, stroke and numerous other problems. Recovery wouldn't be easy. We get everything set up for him to go to a nursing and rehab center. Then we get the bad news...the doctor hears rattling in his chest and he now has pnuemonia..
Tears are blocking the view...more to come later. :(
