On Saturday, I kept getting phone calls, e-mails, from concerned people.
Its almost like. they were.. expecting me to get sick.
My Dad.
"I need you to stay calm, I don't need you getting sick"
A friend's mom, who is a very nice lady.
"Mitchell,, stay calm, we dont want you getting a seizure"
T
Not diplomatic. but.
"Dont get a fucking seizure over your Dad's hospital visit"
I' m sorry to disappoint all of them However.
I have NOT had anything even remotely approaching a seizure
I will admit that I was very upset, and did not sleep much the night after I found out that my Dad was taken to the ER
I was lying awake, thinking, about my almost 81 year old father's six week illness that has almost felt like a saga.
The crazy thing is.
My Dad freaks out if I have a seizure where I would be sick for less than 24 hours.
Yet, it seems as though everyone is having trouble understanding why I'm upset that he has been seriously sick with an infection for almost 7 weeks.
As crazy as it sounds.
Maybe the length of this illness, so supposedly "Uncomfortable " according to my Dad.
Has almost caused me to train my mind to feel upset , but not freaked out where I would go over the edge and have a seizure.
I'm exhausted, feel weak, worn out, and some nights have slept very little.
Yet, knock on wood, if what my Dad tells me is true, that his situation will eventually get better.
I can focus on what I've been doing.
To support him, and not get sick myself.
Which is what has happened so far.
