NIP TUCK gone all wrong!!!!
Welp, i saw my punkins dad yesterday. He has kidney failure and is on Dialysis. Im not very good in these kinds of situations. I never know what to say, and thats hard, ya know, its my boyfriends father and could very well be my father in law one day. So we sit down and start talking, he starts to tell me all about dialysis and how it works.
Eddies dad is diabetic, has high blood pressure and had gastric bypass done about 3 years ago. there are only certain things you can eat. the hospital he was at to have the tube put into his jugular vein in his neck kept giving him things he couldn't have to eat. His doctor once told him if he ever wanted to kill himself, drink a V8 and he would black out. well the hospital knows what he is and isn't allowed to have and they bring him mashed potatoes, greens and TOMATO SOUP! i mean if he wasn't a smart man to know that he couldn't have these things he would be dead. the hospital was also not watching his blood pressure and gave him his blood pressure medicine when it was already at 60. 70-80 is normal and anything below 50 you can black out and become unconscious. hes takes the medicine and goes in the bathroom to take a bath. while sitting in the tub his blood pressure drops dramatically and he blacks out. Nurses and doctors rush in to help him outta the tub, they end up banking him into some furniture and tear his rotator cuff in his shoulder, the same damn arm that they out the tube in. not to mention they cut him open without giving him ANY anesthetic. just local anesthetic. i mean COME ON PEOPLE!!!! this poor man, i just can't believe his spirits are still high.
i can only pray that i live a healthy life!!!!!
