And the Hits just keep coming.
Today, my dad fell and hit his head while on his way to see my mother.
Fortunately, he was in a hospital at the time.
Unfortunately he hit his head HARD and lost a few days, at least temporarily *knocks on wood*.
Fortunately, they found an aneurysm before it ruptured and killed him.
Unfortunately, I now have to try to scrape together about $3k to get down there and cover food, lodging, transit, missed work, etc.
*sigh*

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
