I hate hospital visits

Yeah, so one of the main reasons why I haven’t been on that much this week (well, besides game making / writing reviews) is because my dad recently just got sick and had to be admitted into the hospital back on Sunday for two bacterial infections in his stomach. Poor guy couldn’t get anything down in regards to any food or water; he would just end up puking it back up. It was getting pretty bad for a while and even I was starting to get concerned.

He’s doing much better now – but, man, those hospital visits can be murder at times! Yeah, I understand it’s even harder for the patient being there, as he’s / she’s the one in there all day long with nothing to do other than just lie in bed, but visiting can sometimes originally go from being a two hour visit to a five hour visit. And the initial trip just to bring that person to the hospital may take even longer than that. I remember having a day off of work the first time my dad had to go in from something completely differently and I remember going in at 3 in the afternoon before finally getting out at 1 in the morning. Although, that time, the hospital was going through a massive construction job to expand its facilities, which are complete now, but it was just chaos in there before.

I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only one who hates hospital visits, ain’t I? This is why I can’t wait when he gets out sometime this weekend. It also sucks getting lost all the time in there because most hospitals are HUGE and require asking at least three people there where this place is and where this place isn’t. Ugh.

Well, I gotta go back today to check up on him. Wish me luck! :D

I think your dad needs it more than you right now...XD

But good luck anyway,
I haven't been in an hospital since I was born....probably...I have bad memory.

Well, I'm always glad there at least is a hospital you can go to when something happens. I would be a lot worse if those places didn't exist, even though probably nobody likes to be there for obvious reasons.

Anyway, I really hope your father is going to be well soon. Good luck (and lots of patience) to you both
Yeah, he’s doing much better the last time I saw him in terms of his overall condition from before. But apparently, I heard from the other day that he tried to walk out of the hospital and the security had to bring him back to his room and restrain him because he was being aggressive and spitting at everybody that was there trying to bring him back in. That’s not like him. Apparently the new medication that they ended up giving him is making him all extremely loopy and extra drowsy, because he didn’t even recognize who I was when I went to visit him the other day. And he actually just called my house a few hours ago asking why I haven’t visited him as of late, so he’s really out of it. So, whatever the hell they gave him, it sure must be some powerful stuff.

He should be back pretty soon. At least he’s got a T.V. in there – and a nice view on the seventh floor - and I brought along his cell phone from home so he can browse the Internet and watch some videos on Youtube in the meantime. Yeah, it’s pretty boring there, I understand, but, hey, at least the food isn’t too bad from what I saw, and tasted, from the last time out. They even have decent jello there now! :)
