Good luck to everyone!
I'll have to come back and check on you later.
As of now, I'm preparing to hop a flight to Nashville, to rendezvous with my Mom, so she can have some help with the tragedy that has befallen her and my dad.
Two weeks ago, through no fault of their own, their motor home was totaled. 5 days later, my dad falls off an 8 foot ladder, bruising just about everything. Two days after this, Mom is involved in a golf cart accident at the dog show she is in charge of (big one in Nashville) shattering her hand, internally decapitating fingers...reattachment surgery on Monday.
BUT WAIT! There's more!
Call now, and we'll throw in Acute Myeloid Leukemia!
That's right folks, as of Monday, my bruised but otherwise healthy dad was rushed to the hospital after collapsing in the bathroom. Doctors immediately considered his fall as the cause of something bad, but a CAT scan revealed only the usual amount of cobwebs.
Then, a double order of blood work reveals that his white blood cell count (10-12 in "healthy" adults) has sky-rocketed to 150,000! [emoji322][emoji95][emoji323][emoji95][emoji322]
Doctors agree, it's AML. Patient is admitted post haste, and is almost immediately diagnosed with SEPTIC SHOOOOOCK!
That's right folks! An already bad long term diagnosis of AML, and life threw in septic shock!
Septic shock has a 40% survival rate in HEALTHY adults.
-----------------
One of the doctors was kind enough to call me last night and give me the info with zero sugarcoating.
So, I'm in for an adventurous weekend to say the least.
Good news is, mom has some friends who have survived AML, granted they're on mess for the rest of their lives, but it's been almost a decade for one of them...which means getting over this hump is what dad needs to do.
--------------
Again...GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE WINNERS TODAY!!!
I'm not being sarcastic. Even through all of this, I'm still fixated on the Radius (subconscious distraction I'm sure), and I can't wait to hear more about everyone's experience with it!
I'm hoping to order later this year, but we'll see how dad handles his situation.
LOVE YOU ALL!!!
