What a crazy week it has been. With everyone else being sick in my household I was sure I was not going to catch what had been spreading around; but that was not the case. I've now been sick since Saturday now and even the medicine proscribed by my doctor hasn't helped much at all. Its only made me tired. Totally frustrating!
On an even worse note, my dad had a planned surgery Monday morning, so I took care of him Monday and Tuesday due to him not being able to walk much. The pain in his legs became worse, so I took him to urgent care Wednesday morning with my mom. After 30 minutes of being at the doctors, my dad was omitted in the hospital to run tests and have an MRI done. That night we found out that he has a bulging disc in his back between his L4 and L5. Not being able to do much physical therapy due to his non-related surgery Monday, not much progress has been made. His pain level is still very high and has to stay in the hospital until at least Monday. It absolutely breaks my heart seeing my dad like this.
Since I was put on maternity leave last Friday I have been able to visit him a lot. I actually spend all afternoon and night with him. I barley have time to squeeze in any homework between sleeping all the time because of my medicine and being with my dad, but I am seeming to manage it some how.
I have a little over two weeks of pregnancy left and am very excited for the birth of my son, and to simply not be pregnant anymore. A child is a true blessing, but pregnancy is a literal pain in my back! haha. Although I am so worried about my father and focusing on him right now, he continues to tell me not to worry about him and to focus on the baby coming. It's so hard not to worry about him and not to stress out about school though.
Really hoping these next couple of weeks fly by and my dad is able to be released from the hospital sooner rather than later. I don't want him to miss seeing his grandson the day he's born..
