Having a breakdown...
6 months ago
My dad has gotten cancer last year. He had been undergoing treatment, but his physical strength had been failing him as of lately.
About an hour prior to my writing this, I got a call from my mom asking me to come down to help my dad into his walker. That's where things went downhill and fast.
I was trying to help him out of the recliner he was sitting in, he was complaining about his leg, and he started to fall, so I had to quickly set him back on the recliner - not very well, but just partially enough to get him on the chair.
Then, he started having trouble speaking, then having trouble breathing... I was panicking, as he wasn't responding to my mother.
We had to call 911. I was panicking because I thought he had passed away, but the paramedics arrived and managed to find a pulse, so that's a relief, but...
They had to take him to the emergency room.
I'm... in all honesty a compete wreck now. I was trying to keep myself positive throughout this whole ordeal, even though I was emotionally distressed just seeing him in the consdition he was in... and this just... broke me.
I'm leaving journal comments off, I just... need some time.
