    my dad....turned 74 on monday. had a heart attack late last night. just before our big blizzard started. he's at the hospital recovering; one blocked artery, stent is in, they say there is some risk of a clot, so he's there for a few days for monitoring. problem is, he had covid last week. he has recovered, but he's still testing positive so we can't go visit him. he's all alone. so my sister is collecting stuff for a care package (hopefully she can get where she needs to go in this storm), my girls are making get well cards that are sure to make him cry. I'm sending him some music magazines to keep busy (that's our "in common"-we go to shows together a lot, and have even jammed on occasion). 
    Uuugghhh. That sucks dude, I'm sorry to hear it. The restrictions on visitations in hospitals is rough. Necessary IMO, but still awful. Best wishes to your dad!

    Sorry to hear that. I hope your dad has a speedy recovery. Wishing you and your family the best.

    thanks folks. he's pretty technologically declined as well, so trying to get him to face time has been....interesting. lol

    Going to unload a little bit...

    Thinking of my Dad, who passed away 18 (how is that right?) years ago this month.

    My wife and I are in the midst of both IVF and adoption...prayers/vibes/etc are MORE than welcome.

    Mom is dealing with after effects of her lung surgery..so happy that we're close so we can help.

    Not all doom & gloom around here---just feels like a lot of things going on at once. I am writing more & playing guitar more,,,and that's definitely helped. Just feeling a tad overwhelmed these days, I think. Hope this finds you all well.

    yeah, because of my dad's heart attack, and his and my mom's covid, our trip to seattle to see Jerry Cantrell is likely going to be cancelled. I've never sold tickets on stub hub before. Hope I can recoup that part of the cost. 

    positive vibes to you and your family, Matt.

    I hope both of your parents are doing better. I know you were looking forward to that trip to Seattle. You are a good son.

    That's some heavy stuff you're dealing with. I'm all too familiar with your first 2 items. I remember you offered me a sympathetic ear for the IVF/adoption in a thread earlier this year, so I'll reciprocate that to you. I know what you're dealing with and it can definitely be overwhelming. Regardless, prayers and good vibes to you and your family.

    they are, thanks GG! and my sister stepped up and said she'd take the girls for the trip. so the trip is back on! (or, it was, until about 10 minutes ago when my wife told me she has a sore throat and now the sniffles!! noooo!!!! this trip is doomed! LOL)
