Quintuple Bypass surgury......

Well, Dad had his surgery and it turned out to be a quintuple bypass surgury so he was pretty blocked up. The surgeon said he was "this close" from having a heart attack. Well it was a longer surgury than expected and when they tried to take him off the heart machine around his heart, they couldn't do it because the heart didn't know how to respond to so much blood flowing to it. So they have a balloon in his heart and the machine is monitering it and helping with the pumping. Also they will try to take him off the ventilator tomorrow after lots of sleep tonight. I missed everything because I was quarantined away from the family because of my cold. So I went yesterday to be with Kara for her court date. Man, those court rooms are INTIMIDATING!! She made a peace bond with Tim Bell and it will be put through on Friday. Kara was pretty freaked out today.
So all in all its been a really crappy weekend and week. One I will be glad that it will be over with and if this cold is gone by Friday I can go and see Dad. He will be in the ICU for a couple more days. I miss him. It so sucks to be so out of control and not being able to be with mom and dad and the rest of the family............AUUUUUUUGHHHHH!!! God help me!!!

Sick Now......

Yuck!!! My head is so full of cold right now. I feel restless and sick. At least I have Buckley's, I hope it will help. Also Neo Citron is really good too and it relaxes the sore muscles. And on top of that dad gets admitted for surgury into the hospital, so it is NOT a good time to be sick. Dean is driving mom and dad to the hospital and I'll come a bit later. But the thing is, even though I can be there for the surgury I won't be able to go in and see dad after the surgury. THAT SUX!!! I mean I am so concerned about his quadruple bypass surgury.......This sux............

College Daze!

Oh man I am lovin the college life. I mean its so great to learn new things and then put them into practice hands on. Today was lab for Practical Support Worker. It was so cool to get right in there and clean the dentures, and the "anatomically" correct dolls. Well, human sized dolls. With all their proper gender, interchangeable body parts. Also learning to make the beds and clean the dentures, clean footsies, giggling while we took on this new task. I washed Karens feet and it was cool. Not really a hard thing to do. I am really looking forward to going on placement, because that is when we actually get to put into real life all the practice we have done.
It's so great, I really can't wait for placement.....................

College!!!

Well, as of 12 am I am officially a college student. How exciting!!! How scary!! Oh well, I really like the campus and the people there are really nice at Georgian College in Owen Sound. So its gonna be fun and such a DIFFERENT adventure as I have never been in the public school system. So we'll see how that goes but I aim to be at the top of the class and win an award by the end of the 2 semesters. PSW work looks challenging yet fun. Working with the elderly and sick as a personal support worker. I am really excited yet scared. Tomorrow is like a frosh day or an introductory day starting with a pancake breakfast and ending with a dance..........
