Last 24 hrs or so have been rough. My father had what we believe was a heart attack yesterday afternoon at my sister's house. Rushed him to the ER and they admitted him right away. Seeing him hooked up with all the tubes and shit really got to me. I may at times dislike my father but I do love him so very much. My sister's and I were with him until almost midnight last nite. Our mother has been in LA with her sister on vacation this past week. She called by chance last nite just to ask my older sister what size shirt her son wears. We then told her the news and she felt so helpless. Her flight has already left and she will be landing at 530pm tonight.
After coming home last nite I put No Code on the record player. Downed a couple beers and just sat in the dark and listened to my vinyl. It relaxed me and I'm sure the beer did as well. lol Found out this morning that they are keeping him over nite again. Heart and stress test are not complete yet. We just don't know yet and thats the part I hate. I got maybe 2-3 hrs of sleep last nite. So I may be rambling on here. But just had to get this out. Cause I know some of you understand what it's like to go threw this stuff.
Feel like I'm about to crash here. So I'll wake up later and go pick up my mom from the airport and back to the hospital. Keep sending the good vibes this way. It helps alot. Thank you

And good choice, No Code is the album that has gotten me through so many difficult times.
Again, best of luck.

My thoughts are with you and your family.
I'm happy to say my mom has made a full recovery and is doing very well. They are treating the blockage with medicine and luckily, did not have to do any invasive surgery.
I hope you'll be able to pass that same message on to us about your dad in the near future.
Again, my thoughts are with you.
It was rough to see him in the hospital like that but he was lucky to have survived and it forced a lifestyle change (lose weight, exercise, etc.). He is much better for it now.
Hope all is well.

I was there at the hospital the day my mother had aortic valve replacement which included quadruple by-pass 5 years ago. I too had to watch her hooked up to the feeding tubes, etc. It is such a scary site and really puts things into perspective if you know what I mean.
I can tell you this though-your presence there with him (regardless of his state) makes all the difference in the world. Hang in there and take care of yourself brother. Music was kind to me during those times as well.
I will keep your entire family in my thoughts and prayers.
Why contain yourself like any other book on the shelf?
Subtle voices in the wind hear the truth they're telling.
A world begins where the road ends.
Watch me leave it all behind.

And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky....
silly , i know..... but it doesn't hurt anything.
Best wishes:)
You'll be in my thoughts love. Take it easy.

Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
hope everything works out for you.
Here to die.
Scared alive.
My dad seemed better last nite when my mom arrived at the hospital. I left them alone for a little bit and went down to the cafeteria.
So far things are ok but that could change once we know the results of his heart and stress test. They have to do part 2 of the stress test this morning. They will then determine if they need to keep him longer and possibility then surgery around the heart if he has major blockage.
I've got very little sleep last 2 days but was able to relax a bit more knowing that my mom is back. Right away when we arrived she got his nurse and asked all the questions us kids didn't.
I was in a daze yesterday when I posted this about what was going on. As I said I had to get it out. The support from here and threw phone calls and texts has helped. I thank you all very much. If I've missed your call I will get back to you soon. I will keep in touch and let you know how things are going.
