fcn and post fcn insanity.
14 years ago
Well fcn 2011 was a good time. Glad to hang out with my usual pals, and saw a few old ones I hadn't seen basically since fcn2010. Will upload pics when I get home.

yes I'm not home yet.... see 10am monday, all packed up ready to leave the con for home, I get a call on my cell.
dad and mum, while driving from florida back home to canada, stopped to stretch their legs in lima, ohio and 5 min later my dad passed out.
techinically.. he was dead for 2 minutes. No breath no pulse. Mum was right beside him annd gave him cpr... not actual cpr but 'the best she could do from watching ER and stuff over the years". It worked tho cause he gasped and pulse returned as the aambulance was pulling up. Luckily for dad they were 2 min from a major hospital.
So I drove striaght tthere and have been in lima since then.
wont get into his medical details but suffice it to say he is frickin lucky to be alive.
He was stable enough that they flew him home by air ambulance so he's at home city hospital.
I am taking the long way towing their van behind my truck. Was hoping to be home but its been windy and haven't felt comfortable towing it at more than 55 or even 50 most of the way,
just stopped for the night in gaylord and should be home lunchtime wed.
So if you were expecting a goodbye monday morning and didn't get one from me... I do have a reason :p
later everyone. Oh and if you get a chance go learn cpr!!! True my mum managed without official training... but what if it was your mum/dad/sibling hmm? As for me I'll be renewing mine in august like I do every year!!
