Scary Situation
3 weeks ago
I’ve been busy staying with my dad since he had total shoulder replacement surgery. He was feeling really bad yesterday and I stayed with him. He got so dizzy and sick that I called my aunt who was an RN for over 40 years to see what she thinks we should do. She said he needed to go to the ER and we tried loading him in the car but he couldn’t get out of his chair because he was so dizzy and started dry heaving. We had to call the ambulance and they took him to the hospital. The doctors think it was a bad reaction to the pain meds even though he was taking them scarcely so he’s not taking them anymore. He’s at home now and is doing much much better. I’m visiting him now and he’s currently taking a nap while I watch Murder She Wrote. Glad he’s doing ok. He was in a really dark place saying he should’ve been taken while crying which made me cry because I’ve only seen my dad cry three times in my life. Thankfully he’s in a much better mood now.

Yeah, sounds like an object lesson in how critical it is to get people's meds right.
