My Weekend

I know it’s been too long since I’ve posted. I really want to start posting about every other day at least but we will just have to see. For today I am going to tell you about my weekend.

Thursday:
I had to work at 11:30 so I got up at 9:30 and took shower. After the shower(about 10:00) rather than doing my hair and getting ready for work like I should have, I was lazy and sat down on mom’s bed to watch TV. with dad. Dad told me he was having indigestion from the burger he had eaten at Islands the day before.
About fifteen minutes later he got a really bad pain in his chest and I thought it was heart burn. But then he started moaning and grabbing his chest, and changing positions to make it feel better. At one point the stood up and almost fell over. That is when I knew something was wrong. After about three minutes of this I asked him if he thought he was having a heart attack. He said he didn’t know, but he wasn’t ready for me to call anyone yet. I was shaking really bad and I left the room to think for a second. When I came back he was lying on his back and he told me to call 911. I ran to my bed room screaming to Jackie for phone. She gave me her cell and I called 911. The lady asked my address and I gave it to her and told her I thought my dad was having a heart attack. She asked what made me think that. I told her he was having really bad chest pains, was dizzy and had said he was nauseas. Then he added that he was having trouble breathing and I told her. She sent the fire dept. and a ambulance that came pretty quickly and they took dad to the hospital. I rode in the front seat. After mom got there I called out of work. He spent about thirty minutes in the Emergency Room before it was decided he probably had a clot. They took him up stairs and did a dye test to see if there was a blockage and there was. They put a stint in and by the end of the night he was almost as good as new. The made him stay in the hospital until today. He came home about noon. He was suppose to fly back to Mississippi today but they pushed it back until next Friday. So that is what dominated my weekend. I’ll post ether later tonight or tomorrow about the rest of my weekend.
