Following an ambulance<br />
Wednesday, April 18, 2012<br />
It is a surreal experience to follow an ambulance <strong>with</strong> your father in it.<br />
I got a call around 9 am from my mom saying that my dad is in severe respiratory distress<br />
and he doesn't think he can make it to the hospital in a car. <strong>My</strong> mom said she was<br />
probably going to call an ambulance. I told her I agreed, call the ambulance. I arrived<br />
there just as the paramedics (full fire truck + ambulance -- I paid my taxes yesterday, and<br />
all of my annoyance at writing that check is gone <strong>with</strong> this demonstration of what those<br />
taxes pay for) were getting there.<br />
<strong>My</strong> mom and I filled the paramedics in.<br />
<strong>My</strong> dad is currently in the ER being seen. There is a one-visitor-at-a-time policy, and I'm<br />
sure my dad would be more comfortable <strong>with</strong> his wife at his side, so I'm patiently waiting<br />
in the waiting room. The doctors are confirmed atrial fibrillation. They also hear a<br />
wheezing noise they don't like and they're taking him in for a chest x-ray. I assume the<br />
cancer impinging on the bronchi is making them worry about pneumonia, but I'm not even<br />
close to being a doctor so that is just guessing.<br />
I'm post more when there is more. At this point, it is all scary, sad, and a great unknown.<br />
