Pix, I'm so sorry.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Did they get the MRI done?They just took him down now. He will be back in an hour or so, and then we will wait for the results.

This is an awesome dance.

Oh, I left you all on a cliffhanger. No new results. Just advanced brain atrophy and evidence of all of the mini strokes he's had. So no reason why things would have gone so far off the rails so quickly. He was still incoherent tonight and still hallucinating a bit, so the sedative from last night isn't out of his system yet (NO SEDATIVES FOR MY DAD EVER). I stayed until almost 6 until the new sitter got there. She was lovely and offered to help get Dad cleaned up, which he really needed. Sadly, she will be gone at 7, so I don't know who the overnight person will be. But since I was a squeaky wheel and complained about last night's sitter, they are probably going to make sure they give him someone solid tonight. I hope. I asked Miriam, the lovely sitter from this afternoon, if she would please convey the need for him to have someone understanding and kind tonight.
I feel like tomorrow will tell me a lot about whether or not he's going to recover from this. That will be his third day back on his correct meds, and the sedative should be completely out of his body. Everyone, if you send light or vibes or prayers, please send them my dad's way. I don't want him to end his life, however many years he has left, in this state.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Sending you lots of love, Pix. You came to the absolute right place for no filter needed.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

I’ll be keeping your Dad in my thoughts, Pix.
And thank you all for your kind words about Magellan. I miss him so much and can’t believe he’s gone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hang in there, Pix. This is so hard to think about, but if he's going to have to live with more support soon, you might think about not trying to get him back home. It wasn't a medical crisis, but a crisis situation that landed him in the hospital is how we got my father into the nursing home. Both because it made the transition easier ("easier") on him, but also because it's easier to get a slot when you are coming from the hospital vs. from home.

Sending you all good vibes for your dad, Pix.
I'm so sorry, lisah.
