I felt uneasy all of yesterday. So I checked my answering machine and got the shock of my life. It appears that my father is very ill and my brother is in the hospital, again.

I am not too shocked about my brother being in the hospital because he has been in and out ever since he was a teenager. The usual cause of his being hospitalized is that he stopped taking his meds. When he stops taking his meds he usually becomes violent. This time he got in a physical fight with his landlord.

My father on the other hand is an almost paragon of good health. His only recent health complaint has been arthritis. So I was shocked to hear that he was in the hospital about a week ago. According to the message left on my answering by my sister my father has heart and liver failure as well as fluid in his lungs. They are also closely monitoring his heart. If I had not been so wrapped in doing overtime I could have been there for him.

Today, when I talked to him on the phone he sounded good, a lot better than he usually sounds on the phone. Hopefully, this means that he is getting better.
