My dad is back home from the hospital....

Tweet

It's 2am here. My dad came home yesterday. I didn't tell him but his face looked so pale when I first saw him. Not sure what that was all about but that all seems fine now. I almost cried a few times while talking to my dad but I held it together in front of him. He told me that this time around, (4th time being in hospital) for some reason he thought he was going to die. He doesn't know why. Maybe due to having continuous fevers and feeling sick during the first week. He broke down a couple times while being in hospital which I feel awful for. He also told me something I didn't know. He purposely didn't tell me because he didn't want me to worry but now that things seems ok, he told me. Just before he had that bypass surgery (helping blood flow in his leg), the surgeon told my dad that if this surgery didn't work, he was going to lose his leg. he didn't, I know but just to hear that made me feel sad as it did my dad. I also learned that the bug (infection) that was in my dad's foot was a rare type of bug. Which annoyed my dad in a "of course!" type of way. Like it just had to be a rare thing. My dad, though seems ok for now, will always be at risk so we need to be so careful with his foot. My dad is on the lounge right now. The poor thing is in pain with his leg. There are 3-4 cuts. The cuts are pretty deep so he is going to be in some pain for quite some time. My dad keeps apologising for having me do so much but I don't mind at all! I'd rather run around doing whatever I can than have him having a hard time walking and being in pain. I need to help cover his foot and arm (he has a pick line in his arm and I THINK something else) when he is about to shower so it all doesn't get wet. He has something attached to him that is giving him antibiotics (I think) so he has to carry this little bag around at all times. I am going to try get some sleep as I want to get up early to make breakfast for him and whatever else he may need. Will come back on later in the day hopefully and answer notifications. For now, good night from me. Thank you for reading and hope you're all well.
