Dad

Yesterday Dad phoned me to say that my aunt was on her way over to take him to the hospital because his heart was racing again. They kept him in last night and possibly tonight because they are doubling one of his meds. The side effects of this can be dizziness and unsteadiness and they didn't want him home alone.

The nurse told my aunt that when he comes up and the hook him to the monitors that it isn't showing a thing so there really is no alarm.

I talked with my brother last night and he has the same thoughts as I do about it being an anxiety thing as well as a depression. He said that this has started happening more since my brother sold his business. When my brother had his business my dad stopped by at least twice a day for coffee and to visit with the guys etc and now that is gone. His only two hobbies are golfing, which isn't happening at this time of year, and curling. But he has himself convinced that he can't curl and is talking about quiting. My brother also said that he tries to phone dad as often as he can and when he asks him how he is, dad always answers oh alright I guess. And then when he asks him what he has been doing he answers...nothing, there is nothing to do!!!

Frustrating!!!
