Hey guys. Sorry I've been absent. Work has been hectic (I'm an LNA on a dementia unit for veterans)
Also, there's been something that happened in the family.
Back in April my dad got med flown to a big hospital (a better hospital than the one in our town) due to health issues. He was in a medically induced coma as well as had multiple operations and being placed on ventilation. He got pneumonia, had chest tubes placed in both lungs. Had a heart attack on the operating room table. Asperated. The arteries in his heart wasn't supplying enough blood to his heart.
He seemed like he was pulling through but took a turn yet again.
Then, on May 7th, I had to make a very hard decision.
I wanted the nurses and doctors to keep my dad comfortable.
While I was on my way up to see him that very same day, he passed away.
Nothing can ever prepare you for that heartbreak. Needless to say, having fathers day and his birthday (which was a week after fathers day) has made it extremely hard. As well as dealing with the guilt of my decision.
I will be back to writing. I promise. I just need a little time.
