I got my dad in the hospital
00:03
Wednesday.
00:04
He was exhibiting, he began to exhibit stroke symptoms.
00:08
His mouth was drooping and, and you know, and he told me he said, "Hey, I'm in trouble." And I noticed that he said, "Yeah, I'm in trouble." So I took him immediately to the hospital.
00:18
And he did have a some kind of minor stroke.
00:21
They're trying to figure out why, you know, if his heart threw a clot or what.
00:25
They couldn't tell me.
00:26
So they had MRI.
00:28
Yesterday and last night, late, and so I'm on the way back there now.
00:33
But that's, yeah, I don't like missing.
00:36
I enjoy the meetings, but dad comes 1st .
00:42
Family is always 1st .
00:44
You can always follow up, you know, afterwards.
00:49
But family 100 % , always 1st .
00:58
Yeah, I agree.
01:01
So I'm on the way back up to Troy Beaumont to sit with him.
01:06
Make sure he's getting what he needs.
01:11
I discovered a long time ago that if you're not there, your family member doesn't get the best of care.
01:17
I mean, that sounds terrible, but it's true.
01:24
100% agree.
01:27
Because I was up at the hospital every day that my wife was in there after her stroke, and I made sure, you know, all the procedures were followed to the tee.
01:37
You know, eyes were dotted, teas were crossed, periods at the end of every sentence.
01:47
There you go.
01:48
And you know they didn't give him any stroke-specific medicine because you know they got that clot busting medicine and stuff.
01:57
But the
01:59
you know I walked in at 08:00 in the morning and saw the symptoms.
02:03
But the caregiver that was with him at 730 making sure he got his medicine and stuff.
