So far, 2019 has been a lil bit of a roller coaster.
Back in January, Dad suddenly had vomiting and severe stomach pain, and went to the ER. He had diverticulitis, and an abscess in his colon that required draining. After 10 days in the hospital, he went to rehab to get his strength back. (The rehab sucked, and didn't seem to care that he choked on his pills, or forgot to put his CPAP on).
In the meantime, his older brother died, leaving us a decent amount of money. This will allow us to fix up the house/plumbing/heater.
Then, about a week ago, Dad spiked a fever and started having stomach pain again. This time, the abscess had brought friends, and he had to have 8" of colon removed. He has a colostomy bag, which is not something that is making him thrilled. He had a minor heart attack after the surgery, so that was fun. We're waiting for him to go to a new rehab in the next couple days.
Hopefully, the checks for the inheritance come in soon, and we can get dad situated and move forward, but so far the new year has been a little bit challenging.
