Dad was admitted last night. He has an infection somewhere trying to locate it. They are having trouble getting blood work done cause he is clotting really bad. His bp was 60/40 when they admitted him. Up a little bit this morning but not much. My step mom is having trouble deal with it. She is due for sugary this week. Another week of hell ahead of us.
My mothers grate aunt is in town tomarrow. I am suppose to host a dinner here.
A little overwhelmed at the moment.
Prayers please.

Manda you are in my prayers. Remember to take care of you first. You will be unable to be there for anyone else if you get too run down.
Take one day at a time.

Thanks you guys. My dad is still really week, he says that he is feeling better. But doesn't look it. I have a feeling he is just trying to make everyone stop worrying. We all know what that is. And it seems to be working.
I am frustrated with my step mother. I know that we all diffrent ways of dealing with stress. But ahhh my way is better dammit! :banghead; Yeah it sucks when you want everything to go a certain way and it doesn't even come close to that. I know I am just being obsessive, can't help it. Trying though, just not succeeding very well. I just know what gets to me in the hospitall, and they seem to be asking all the wrong questions. Don't give a dam about anything else. It just is driving me crazy. I hate not being in control. Haha. So I am trying to step back from that a bit and let them both be adults. For some reason it is really hard. lol. Yes I am a basket case when I get stressed.
Dinner is still on, I wish I could forget all about it. But I will never hear the end of it. And truthfully it might be a nice distraction for a bit. It is just a complacated situation. But that is how things usually go when it comes to my mom. I am tempted to go out, but I can't afford that. I have a feeling I would have to treat everyone. And just isn't in the budget. Dinner is just one of those things that can't be avoid just trying to figure out the less of two evils.

Oh Mandy, forget the dinner. Give them each a weiner and a twinkie and say good night. You can't do it all...
or are you Bionic Woman?

I like to think I am Bionic Woman ;)

But if you try to do more than you can, YOU will be the one who gets sick. Do take care of yourself, Amanda. :cuddle; :cuddle;

For the dinner - Order Out! Woman - you can only do so much, and you can't control everything, and you will only stress yourself out more trying to. I realized that once I was able to step away from trying to control thins and make things happen the way I wanted them to happen, I was much happier. I hope you can find a nice balance. Stay calm.

Yeah I know. It is just this random curse that I can't seem to brake. I know what I need to do, but I get stressed and have all this energy and can't get rid of it. I just need to do stuff and be in control. Waiting isn't as easy as it should be for me. I have learned to kinda counteract it. I pop emergncy-c (sp) when I get like this. Keeps me from getting a cold. If I could just figure out a way to sleep I would be good. Thank God for books. It is the only thing that keeps me steel for more then 10 mins. Yeah trying to keep my a** calm, I think its harder then moving.
Don't know what I will decide for dinner yet. I just don't know.

So today is over. That is good. I am really tired. My dad is out of the hospital. I don't know if it was the right move. But what do I know? Debbie (his wife) has her hysterectomy tomarrow morning at 8. He has dialysis in the morning. So not to sure how tomarrow is gonna play out. If I can talk my dad into staying home for a couple days and resting up while Debbie is in the hospital that would be grate. But highly unlikely. If you guys think I am hard headed you should met my father. He wouldn't let his wife stay with him one night while he was in the hospital. Lets see anyone get rid of him. But what can I do? Other then be there for him when he crashes.
As for dinner we went out. I didn't want to but did not have the energy to cook. So that went as well as could be expected. Now it is time for bed.
Thanks you guys for talking some sense into me ;)

Sorry for being late to read this.
Great your dad is out of the hospital if it is warranted, meaning that he didn't need to stay and no rush was shown to get him out.
If he goes to see his wife, just tell him to be cautious around sick people and to wash his hands and face as a precautionary measure so he doesn't go back in.
Bullheadedness I am familiar with while on dialysis ;D

Manda, I truly think we are related! It is hard to break old habits. Taking care of everyone and doing everything are very hard habits for me to stop. People can tell me all day long to take care of myself, but it is much easier to focus on other's problems. You can't do it all for your Dad and his wife. I know you are so worried about your Dad. I will say prayers for him. And for all of you. Read your books, play with the kids and come to IHD! I keep telling my daughters "don't be like me -- be nice to yourself too". Take care, Manda. :cuddle;

Yeah steping back from all the drama today. :2thumbsup; Went to the gym last night got in a really good work out. Gonna finish my book I started last night and just going to hang out with the kidos. Take it easy.
My dad is doing alright, his wife is doing alright. I am just gonna relax. So I will be back all day today! Yey! IHD!

Good for you, Manda!!! That sounds terrific. :clap;
