Glad to hear your Dad is feeling better, but I have to say, your telling of the story makes it sound like your dad called 911 because your mom was not home to make him a sammich? Basically that's it...that and he couldn't breathe. You know I never realized how helpless my dad was in that respect. He can build cabinets, add on a bedroom, or change an alternator in a car, and engineer a new piece of equipment at work, but if he has to take care of himself, he is unable or unwilling to do it. He might be able to pour himself a bowl of cereal but that's about it. He can't cook for himself. I found this out earlier this year taking my mom to Iowa city for a bunch of appointments all day. She was in a big rush to get home because she said my dad would starve before he would cook for himself. I think she made him a sandwich when she got home. Have you considered the possibility that he was holding his breath until he got your attention?

Have you considered the possibility that he was holding his breath until he got your attention? I'll just ask him to clear that up. I've been up at the hospital now visiting him and then my mom, and he seems the better off of the two, and she's going home today. I think he's enjoying have people wait on him. He seems positively overjoyed to order his meals over the phone and have them delivered bedside while he's watching TV. He has been naughty. He has a bracelet that says "FALL RISK" but decided to go to the bathroom by himself without contacting a nurse, and managed to disconnect his IV tubing midpoint and proceeded to bleed all over the place. He said it looked like "a goddamned crime scene". I told him not to do that again but I know he will.

I didn't think you would want the trouble of having real ones, just to have an excuse for not attending wasteland tailgate events.

Not attending, what's your excuse? I'm going with a group of different people, and we'll be nowhere near Ron's spot.
