2017 Year in Review: in February my dad went into the hospital and it was really, really scary. He went in with pneumonia but wound up having to get surgery because the fluid had walled off and was staying in a pocket around his lungs (I'm no doctor but I think that was kind of the gist of it, anyway).
It was terrifying as my dad grew weaker and weaker and the hospital would parade doctor after doctor in, and everyone had a different opinion of what was going on.
Thankfully someone realized that if it has hooves and gallups it's probably a horse, but sometimes it's a zebra, and in this case my dad was the zebra.
They were able to figure out the problem finally, and after surgery, he bounced back and was even more lively than before!
I stayed with my parents a lot while all this was happening, and we were able to strengthen our relationship. I always look for the silver lining, and while I hate so much that my dad had to go through that, I am so grateful for all the good that came from it.
