....I apologize for absence yesterday, but it has been a tumultuous break from the Board......as many of you know I lost my Mom on 9-29-18.....Dad has understandably been lost without her, and it has taken an emotional and physical toll on him...Tuesday evening we ended up in the ER....his speech was garbled and I feared a stroke....indeed, that was the overall diagnosis brought on by an irregular heart rhythm(atrial fibrillation)which I suspected due to watching his heart monitor after they got him hooked up....CT revealed multiple old infarcts in his brain, which means he'd been having min-strokes(Transient Ischemic Attacks or TIA's)for some unknown length of time......subsequently he was admitted and had multiple tests run...his speech cleared by Wednesday evening and he has no deficits-nor any from the earlier episodes...knew he was getting better cuz he started bitching(a trait amongst us Roller males), so I got him home last night....scolded him since he decides to tell me after the fact that "I've had the irregular heartbeat since I was a kid, and so did my Dad"....thanks Pop!!!... not like I'm a nurse or anything
.....anyway, he's gone from taking just a sleeping pill at nearly 90-to a low dose aspirin, a blood thinner and a cholesterol pill as prophylactic drugs to avoid another incident....he was glad to be home, he'd missed his critters and vice versa......damn!.....too close to Mom leaving us, I'm just glad he's OK......

Glad to hear he's on the mend and maybe now that you're aware of the situation, he'll be less likely to let his health go. (((Positive healing vibes for dad and calming vibes for you.)))

I hope you find calm in this overwhelming storm.
Scott- I am so very sorry for your loss. Losing one's Mom is very hard. Sending hugs and prayers to you and yours. I've already PM's you about why I am jusy now seeing this and apologize for not being there when it first happened. I rarely come to this thread. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you, friend.....the Grim Reaper paid an unexpected and shocking visit to my Dad's house Saturday night....I was just getting ready for bed at about 8:30, when the phone rings and Dad says "There's something wrong with your Mother-you better get out here".....at this juncture, I was in the Jeep and out the door.....Tracy and I live less than 5 minutes away, but I'm pretty sure I made it in about two....even so, I was to late...............my Mom took her last breath as I got to her in the living room.....no matter how much CPR I did, or screaming at, and exhorting her to stay with me did any damn good.....I know I did all I could, but still feel that I failed her.....dammit, dammit, dammit!....only thing that gives us a little bit of peace is, that she went so quickly-and I imagine as she would have wanted-in her chair, across from my Dad-cat in her lap....she and Dad were just two weeks shy of their 64th wedding anniversary, and he simply told me-"Scott, I loved her and I'm going to miss her, if I could marry her all over again-I would"....for my part, I loved her too...she was wildly over protective and kept me from many things I wanted to experience as a child-but she did so out of an abundance of love....26 years she helped shape young lives a 4th grade teacher, and all her life-was iron willed, yet soft hearted....Mom?.....rest easy and know that I love you......RIP Kathleen Denny Roller 12-23-1930 to 9-29-2018.......
Guidance for your dad. Press on , GNTLGNT . Look to every source for discounts. Look at alternative blood thinners.
...I love you too buddy...no worries, I know you have my back and also know my heart....
