Life and Lemonade

I've always liked the saying (When life gives you lemons, make lemonade) The last 2 days have been a tree full of lemons. I not feeling well (as per the last few posts) and yesterday around 3:30 Cathy and I get a call and her Step-dad has disappeared no one can find him and the last anyone saw him he was pulling out of his driveway at 1:00. Some of you may be saying, can't I guy loose himself for a couple hours. Not really when it this family. He has been acting rather strange lately and he had a bad fall about a week and a half back and hit his head hard. He is a very stubborn older gentleman and he refused to go to the ER to get his head checked out. The last couple of days he has been slurring his words and seemed rather confused. Anyway back to the story. Yesterday he disappeared. Cathy finally gets hold of him and he informs us he is on Rt 7 North on the side of the road, apparently he ran out of gas. So Cathy and I grab a gas can and head up Rt 7 looking for him. When we found him he could barely walk he was staggering and he was not making any sense. We asked him where he was going and he said he just came from visiting Cathy's mom at the hospital and was going home. The problem with this story is he was 15 miles out of his way and heading away from his house with his dog in the car with him. The battery was completely dead and I couldn't even get the gas cap open due to the battery being dead and could not put gas in the car. We convinced him to go with us and take him home because he refused to be taken to the hospital. When we got to his house I got the neighbors and the four of us "convinced" him to go to the hospital. Well, the short of it is, he is now in ICU with a large area of bleeding on his brain with the Neurosurgeon talking about drilling into his brain to drain the excess fluid. Now we have him in one hospital and Cathy's mom in another and no time to think.
The moral of the story is, please go to the hospital when something happens and don't put off till tomorrow what can be done today.
