Janet, My father is my heart but I know he is in good hands. My older sister is with him and will keep us updated. I am always the last to know what goes on with him because I am the baby girl and they are trying to protect me. Shantel
I have some wonderful pics of him when he was young and in the Navy just wish I knew how to post them. Shantel

you need to go to a hosting website and UPLOAD NOT download the picture from your computer to the website and they will in turn give an address for your picture ( a bunch of letters and numbers...) specifically for use in a website such as this place..you copy that address and paste it here to your post...
I used to use Pixpond but they dont seem to be working so just today found one called: www.upforworld.com
Make sure you follow directions to UP load not DOWN load...its a free service..
Hope that helps...
Candle is lit for your Dad

P.S.
When you get to the website section to upload they will have a box that says BROWSE...if you press that button it will link up to your computer and you just have to go to the section of our computer that you stored the picture on...
Mine is in a file called MY PICSS but it could be stored in Tabletop or whereever you put it when you scanned it in..
hope that helps..once you do it a couple of times it gets easier...
Hugs

Hi Shantel..I just logged on for the first time today and just wanted to let you know that I have said a prayer and am definatley thinking about you and your family tonight. I hope all goes well. Please try not to worry to much get some sleep and relax.
Take care....
Take care....
Thanks everyone for your prayers. They were suppose to just keep my father overnight now it seems they are going to keep him overnight again so they can do a stress test on him. They won't let him get out of bed and he is getting frustrated. They have a EKG hooked up to him, something up his nose and he has to use a urinal so he is not a happy camper. Will keep you guys updated. Thanks again. Shantel
Sorry Shantell. I am glad he's doing better, and said a prayer for him that he continues to improve and flirt. :-)
We were on our way to visit my father tonight at the hospital and I got a call from one of my sisters letting me know that when his primary care doctor was in to see him today he advised my father to get a living will. Not what I wanted to hear. Well, the visit was going well until I noticed his face getting red and he was complaining it was hot and he started studdering. I told him I was gonna get the nurse to take his blood pressure. He got really upset with me because he wants to get out of the hospital tommorow but I got the nurse anyways and his BP was 216/130. The nurse came right away with his BP meds. My husband took our children out of the room so I could have time with my father. I gave him a hug and told him to get some sleep. When I called to tell my sisters what happened they were pissed at me. Anything that goes wrong in my family always seems to fall back on me...I give up. Shantel

Why would your sisters get mad.?
Thats awful high blood pressure...thank goodness you got his Nurse...did a conversation occur that got him really upset??
Everyone should have a living will honey...thats sound advise and one that would normally come up after any close calls...( well after the immediate danger is passed...) if it was told to him any other way then common advice, he would have been told he has x amount to live or something...that wasn't done right??
I truly think that after any coronary trauma or close calls, bringing up living wills is done quite often....sometimes men can be in denial and their Drs will try to make them understand how serious the situation was..since your Dad ignored days of warning perhaps this was part of the Dr trying to tell him he could have died had he not finally admitted his symptoms...
Hopefully this wasn't what got his blood pressure up...
prayer will keep coming

Ali, It was actually just one of my older sisters who got mad at me. I called her after my visit with my dad to let her know what had happened because she is going to visit him today and I wanted her to know what signs to look for in case his bp started to rise and she needed to get the nurse. The only reason I knew to get the nurse is because I have been a CNA for years. She is very close to my father and is in denial that he is getting older and if he doesn't take care of himself he is gonna die. She doesn't want to hear it. Nothing happened during our visit to make his bp go up it was actually a nice visit but I think having 4 of us in the room was just to much for him and he was tired. He got very angry with me when I told him I was going to get the nurse to check his bp and the reason he got angry is because he wants to go home today and if it charted that his bp is going up all the time they are not gonna release him. I didn't care if he was mad at me because I know what can happen if his bp gets to high. You're right about men being in denial my father takes pills for diabetes and when he was admitted to the hospital his blood sugar level was over 200 but when you tell him that he says he doesn't have diabetes and he doesn't know why the doctor makes him take those pills. He is suppose to be going down south on Thursday with my mother to visit my daughter he loves traveling and the warm weather so he is trying his hardest to get out get of of the hospital. He has his stress test today and testing for his blood sugar level so I will know more later. Shantel
