Bare with me, here...

Although I am not thrilled with my dad being paralyzed, it has given me a very weird sense of relief. We are now to a point where I can feel useful and DO something to help my father, instead of pace around and wonder.

I was thankful to be at my parent's house when my dad arrived via medical transport. They only had two paramedics, so having a third person who knew what they were doing seemed to help.

After we got him into bed, I pretty much immediately took over and helped Dad get situated. And, he seemed quite content with me doing this (I would of assumed that he would of not been thrilled with having to have his daughter 'take care of things').

I've decided my parents need more pillows, top sheets and a couple of blankets. Angie and I were going to go out to get some tonight, but I am just exhausted! I definitely did not get enough sleep last night.

My final dress fitting was cancelled today, I'm not sure when it will be rescheduled for.

I'm tired, I'm scattered, and I'm working towards homeless still. *sigh* Maybe a nap will do. At 7:45 at night though? I just don't know if its worth the effort...

grandma is going to bring over pillows and sheets, and dad doesn't seem to mind any of us helping. he seems pretty happy just to be home. I'm glad you were there too, I never would of been able to get dad situated.

mom has set up her sation in the kitchen, I'm not all too pleased with the location right now but I guess we'll adjust.

anyhow time to get this towel off my head and look normal - whatever normal is. talk to you later
