Dads surgery

Above is a picture of me and my Dad in 2005 on the day of my wedding, it was a great day, a day I will forever remember.

Dads surgery apparently went very well, he is awake and aware of where he is, not "out of it" like we all thought he would be. He is refusing pain meds, which doesn't surprise me, he is a very stubborn man that never really complained about aches and pains. He wants me to come see him this week but I'm not sure I can fit it in, it's just so hard since he is about an hour away and with Jacob it makes it hard to bring him with me just for a short visit and then another hour drive home!? We will definitely be seeing him on Saturday and I will try to get up to see him on Friday night. I'm very happy the surgery went well, it was nice to finally hear some good news.

This morning I heard some very bad news, my "Big Sister" from a youth group I belonged to for many years passed away on Tuesday. It was very unexpected, they need to do a autopsy, all I've been told is that she had a bladder infection, went to the hospital cause she didn't feel good, had a seizure and passed away. It was so quick that I don't even think her Mom was able to be with her in those last minutes. February is going to be a very sad month I'm afraid!

I went to the gym last night and had a fairly good work out. There is a new class for the sprint circuit that I enjoy, it gives variety of machines and cardio. I didn't have time to do the whole class cause I wanted to get Jacob home by 8pm and even if I wanted to do the whole class it wouldn't have mattered ... I got interrupted. One of the ladies that works in the day care came and got me out of the class, she said that Jacob didn't look good that his eyes were all puffy and red, that he looked really flushed and wouldn't stop crying!? So I go upstairs to get him and he looks absolutely fine!!? I notice he is one of the last kids there and mention something about how he is all alone but his eyes looked fine, no redness or puffiness!? So I take him and he head out. As I was putting my boots on I noticed that there was another mother with her little girl that was also up there so I asked her if they called her to get her child too and she said no, she works in the day care. So this leads me to think that they just called me up there to pick up Jacob so that they could go home early since Jacob was the last paying kid in there!? I'm a little ticked about it, hubby says I should phone and complain. Other then that, things are going good with going to the gym, Jacob playing in the day care while I work out and then we head home for a little play time and book reading before bedtime!!

Below is a picture of my Grandpa (my Dads Dad) that is also very sick right now, it was also taken on my wedding day. I went to see my Grandpa on Tuesday night and things don't look so good, he is now in palliative care, I don't even think he knew I was there to visit him (he seemed so out of it). It was so hard to hold back my tears, all the stress and sickness is starting to get to me.
