So Saturday turned out to be quite an adventure...... Arrived at the hospital in time to help the physical therapists dress dad, and shift him into his wheelchair.... He did quite well, listening to what the therapist was asking of him and following directions.. We were able to take a walk (roll) outside and enjoy the beautiful Indian Summer in San Francisco.. Warm sun and an refreshing cool breeze, perfect for a late morning stroll..... Spent a good half an hour out on the deck overlooking a neighborhood park, watching kids learn how to skateboard and doggies chasing one another in circles..but the wind was quite cool and dad decided he wanted to go back into the room...
After settling back into the room, I wandered off to get lunch for mom, Greg and myself from a local corner market.. Greg joined us for lunch, but then decided to have an adventure of his own... Needless to say it was convenient that the ER was just downstairs, l floor ride on the elevator.... After checking vitals, and administering multiple medications the decision was made to admit Greg. Naturally admitting him into the same hospital would have been too easy, so Greg once again took a ride to PAC the sister hospital to Davies.... I ran back upstairs to dads room to gather my belongings, to discover dad had caught wind of what was happening and was concerned for Greg.. He had heard my voice when I was speaking to the nurses asking for a wheelchair for Greg, and wanted to know how he was doing..... A wonderful sign of dads awareness for his surroundings, and of those around him..
Well, Greg is still at PAC, his cardiologist is not sure what is going on exactly.. Does appear he had a minor heart attack, do not yet know why..... Hopefully we will find out more tomorrow, after more tests and an exploratory surgery.... Thank goodness for friends (family) in SF taking care of us !!!! Can't handle more than one at a time!!!!!!!!!
