today has been a really long and incredibly stressful day and my dad's okay now, but my mom had to take him to the ER tonight because he's been having some issues and needed to get checked out and he also fell today so they went and did that

as soon as they get back and were trying to get into the house i guess the last of my dad's energy just gave out and he just kinda sunk down to his knees and then slowly slid onto the floor and neither of us could get him up

we tried to help him grab onto his wheelchair and work with him but he just couldn't do it and neither of us were strong enough to lift him without making things worse

our family friend is out of town and my mom tried calling another friend but nobody was able to come so we had EMS come out and thankfully two guys were able to lift him into his chair and help us get him into bed and settled

he's finally resting after a long, long fucking day and my mom's going to take off work tomorrow so she can be with him

i am...beyond exhausted so i am also going to go to sleep and hope to god tomorrow's a better day

#he got a new oxygen machine recently and we're wondering if maybe the level is too high now #she's going to talk to one of his doctors tomorrow and see what he says #but with his condition and everything it's possible that's what's the cause is because ever since we got that thing #it's like he's been going downhill where he had just started to make a turn around #and they did a bunch of lab work and stuff on him tested him for covid and everything and he's not sick #but he's just been acting bizarre lately and then everything today #he also slept a lot yesterday almost like he was in a coma #i kept checking on him and even tried to wake him up a few times #because at that point i was worried he wouldn't sleep through the night and i know that throws him off #but he was dead asleep and normally he's not like that #so i dunno #all i know is i've been scared out of my fucking wits multiple times today #and have cried a shit ton #and just...yeah #oh also when they went to the er i stayed behind to hold down the fort and take care of the pupper #so i thought okay let me go get in the pool for a little bit to decompress and calm down #should be fine it's been sunny all day long #wouldn't ya know it a fucking storm started blowing in right as i got in the water #but that's fine #i got in for a few minutes at least and that helped #and now i'm gonna sleep and that'll help too #and tomorrow's going to be a different fucking day than this one and that's all i can ask for
