Thank you, everyone, for your wishes. I just came from the hospital since I wasn't allowed to stay overnight. Dad's still there but was doing much better. Just praying that he continues to improve.
The hospital was a huge shock, even though it wasn't my first time in Emergency/ICU. He was okay and hours later he wasn't, then he was getting better then I thought we'd lost him. It's the 3rd or 4th such narrow escape in the last few weeks (fell once, was pushed into a glass door or another day by some kids, etc). Suddenly I had to grow up and be the grown up with the insurance and talking to doctors etc (I used to talk to the doctors for mum but haven't in years. This was way different).
Have to go in around four hours and sort out insurance etc, then see when they'll discharge him. Prayers and well wishes are still needed.
Bringing it back to topic, the Harkles are cunts especially in light of all this, and they're so irrelevant that I didn't think of them all day. Just thought of my brave Tattlers and their brave loved ones who battle all kinds of illnesses and stresses every day. Love and healing to you all too
