I haven't had much time, nor know the words to not jinx myself. Things have been looking up, dad's doing well. And actually out of my dad's ordeal the very day of my last post something good seems to be happening. Truely because I got brave one night and sent a message on a web site to someone who I'd met before.
We went 'out' once, and have since done a few nights in with movies and dinner, and sporting events. I'm not sure when I've smiled so much, not for a very long time I know that.
Taking things slow and seeing where it goes, but we click very well and have tons in common, and what we don't we are willing to give the others interests a shot. The other night he cooked me dinner, no guy that I've 'dated' has ever done that for me!!!! Can we say BIG DEAL?!?!?!? I told him so and of course he played it down. Tonight he told me I was one hell of a catch!
And the best part is I can be myself around him!!! my jeans and tshirts are fine by him, I don't need makeup and he doesn't care if my hair is still wet from my shower! And my not so neat apartment and my 'monsters' that climb all over him....he loves that part! lol
I don't know, we'll see what happens and enjoy the ride as long as I can!
Rascal Flatts Too Good is True......love the first verse...it fits!
"Too Good Is True"
I guess it's cause and effect
Your heart and mine
The way that we connect
Keeps blowing my mind
There you go again, it never ends
What you do to me
That I have seen the light of day
Love is finally going my way
Is it too good to be true
Give me one more kiss, one more touch
Baby, I just can't get enough of you
This time, too good is true
All of a sudden
I'm not who I used to be
I had my heart locked
But you held the key
And you find a way, everyday
To show me even more
Some people say we're too good to be true
But they don't get to be loved by you
Oh this time, too good is true
Yes it is, yeah

When will it all end?
So my family has been on a roller coaster ride of life with my dad's health for almost 2 years now. The end of July 2006 they life flighted my dad to a big city hospital that specializes in cardiology. He had suffered a massive heart attack, they tried a catheterization, 5 blockages, 3 at 100%. They sent him to the cardiac floor and did emergency bypass surgery the next morning, a saturday. Triple bypass of the blocked arteries. Released, recovered, change in diet and lifestyle.
Fast forward 3 months, to October, leg pain and fatigue, change medication. Next 9 months, random trips to hospital for chest pains and general discomfort. July 07, another heart attack, heart cath, one of the bypasses collapsed, installation of a stent in bypassed artery. Oct 07, chest pains, stress test. Found a narrowing of an artery but drs 'weren't concerned' and sent him home.
That brings us to Monday. Dad gets up, goes to work, gets chest heaviness.....a new symptom he's never had before. Calls mom, drives HIMSELF...yes himself......he's still due a butt kicking for that.... to the ER where they do bloodwork and run an ekg, admit him for observation. Bloodwork and EKG are fine, do second round of both. Leave us hanging til Tuesday. Tuesday drs decide they don't like the new added symptom, going to do a catheterization to check out the problem. Takes us to this morning, they are supposed to transfer from local hospital to city hospital using a transfer company at 11 a.m. ... We stop at local hospital, leave at 10:30 to head down here and get into parking garage and such to meet him when he gets here....12:30 he was just getting loaded in ambulance, not of the transfer company issue. He gets here about 1:20, we've now been sitting in waiting room waiting, call to ask, they let us go back and see him. Procedure scheduled for 2, 3:15 comes and here comes the dr. 100% blockage in a before uneffected artery. Put a large stent in and opened it up.
WHEN IS THIS GONNA END?!?!?!?!? They said his cholestorol is excellent, he's taking plavix to keep blockages from occuring. Whats the deal?
Sorry, just ranting a bit, I found a wireless network here at the hospital, and am passing time til they tell us what room he's in.
