Well so much for those plans. I spent all afternoon at SS Hosp, where my Dad was taken by ambulance this afternoon. He had a TIA, which I guess is Greek for pre-stroke episode. Probably due to some blocked arteries or the like. He had a quad bypass 1-1/2 years ago and a stroke resulting from that, so he's been battling back ever since.
Ironic because a few days ago, I commented on how well he looked. We had a family reunion just 2 days ago, when he was presented with a shadow box, which my brother-in-law put together for him. Don is a full time high ranking Navy boy and he researched and got some long overdue metals to my Dad for his Marine duty. Just a beautiful glass case, dark mahogany maybe, Corp and American flags and his 8 or so metals. I've got to snap a picture because the official Marine photo of him in the middle is just classic, with him standing in front of his F4U.
He's been moved into Boston for some tests tomorrow, which is where I'll be spending my day. If all goes well maybe I can sneak away on Monday or Tuesday, anyone feel like tagging along...give me a shout.
