It would not be a weekend for me with out something ridiculous happening. This weekend I had to play many different roles. I had to be a leader, a daughter, a doctor and a mother. My dad got extremely sick this weekend and when I came home from work he was home by himself shaking and freezing. I completely panicked but knew I had to stay calm for him.
I ran around getting him blankets, water and some medicine to temporarily calm him down. I took his temperature and saw he had a fever. I knew something was up and told him I was taking him to the hospital. This is where his pride stepped in. The man was clearly suffering but refused to go with me because he didn't want to have to pay, sit in the hospital and not be able to go to work. Regardless, I made him go , I did have to yell at him a bit though.
He is okay but it was definitely one of the scariest things I have ever experienced. I guess when you are younger you feel like your parents are invincible. That they don't get sick or sad, they just know how to make you feel bettter when you are. It was also strange being the one taking care of him. I know he is mad at me that I took him there but I said I'd rather him be mad at me than in danger.
