Bob, still waiting on pictures. I'm not hauling a trailer 2.5 hours to pick up a truck for parts unless I can see pictures of the parts I want. I told the guy not to rush on getting pictures, as he said he'd have them out first thing in the morning... kinda wishing I didn't say that now... but i wanted to make sure I responded so that he knew I was real.

Dad had some setbacks last night.. they had to put him back on the respirator because he wasnt able to breath and pressure started dropping.. originally they canceled his surgery today but as we were leaving today they called saying he was now going to surgery.. so my brother and mom are back there waiting for him to get out.. said he would be in there for 2-3hrs.

surgery took longer than they expected.. he finally got out around midnight last night.. hes still on the ventilator trying to get his oxygen level back up. His blood pressures running on the low side but theyre keeping an eye on it.. theyre keeping him sedated the whole time hes on the ventilator. said if they couldnt get him off it by tomorrow theyd force feed him via the tube...

I hope everybody has a good Saturday.
We may get a couple more box's pack today, though there really isn't much more to pack, that we aren't going to use.
I do have my closet to go through. I know there are clothes that I'm not ever going to be able to get into again, and most are just rags that I haven't thrown away yet.

went to visit dad today while mom stayed at the hotel since shes worried herself to being sick.. dr's said he is improving just not as fast as they would have liked but kind of to be expected with what he went through.. they decided not to take the respirator out today.. he was awake more when i got there.. the dr's are concerned with his BP being high but we both attribute that to him being frustrated with the tube.. nurses said when i got there he was trying to pull it out this morning so they had to put his hands in them mittens like they do infants to keep them from scratching themselves... while i was there his BP ended up being 224/82.. when i left they got him down to 171/74.. but theyre still concerned with his blood o2 levels.. which is why they kept him on the ventilator... they bumped up the pressure a bit for tonight.. theyll test him again tomorrow to see if he can come off yet...

Today I laid around on the couch until about 3, then we rode to Hampstead and picked up a 8.8 with a spool/30 with a locker combo aswell as some gears and install kit for the Comanche. Should wake it up a bit.
