Bad News

I got a phone call from my mom yesterday after work that brought me bad news. My dad had passed out last Sunday and was taken to the hospital. According to my mom, he had coughed so violently that it caused him to pass out. Not only that, but my mom said that he took the skin off his left arm when he fell. He was discharged yesterday and was home resting when my mom called.

Even with all that drama, I'm glad he didn't have another stroke or heart attack. That would have been much worse, or even fatal. So whatever ideas I might have had about moving on again are gone. With both my dad's health (and mine) in question, the smart choice would be just to stay put. And if something more does happen to my dad, I want to be in a position to get to Ohio quickly.
