See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

So much dad~ma, Brenda. And I wish he hadn't had a seizure, but if he had to I'm glad it was right in front of the doctor. It makes a huge difference in treatment when they've actually witnessed an episode.

So much that, JZ. And holy fuck am I glad I decided to call 911 (after talking with the VA nurse helpline) and that didn't happen here at the house.

I'm home now and he's in an ambulance headed to the VA. A transport ambulance, I should say, not lights and sirens. I'll go up tomorrow but he won't really be fully aware tonight. The VA is about an hour away mostly on country roads.

In less distressing news, Lee and I are about to leave on an excursion to Phillip Island to see some koalas and penguins!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

All ~ma for your father, Brenda. Very scary.

It is taking me forever to get through a single novel anymore. And my list of things to read is really long.

I had to just start from scratch. And if I don't set aside a block of time, I know I won't get a chance to read. So one day of the weekend, after I take care of the dogs (oh, I have dogs now), I can sit and read a while.
