Bad news. :={

It seems my mother is in ICU.
She has had Parkinson's for a long while, but they don't think this is causing the problem.

She wasn't feeling well and my dad took her BP: 80/20 or something like that. He called the squad and they took her to the hospital.

Apparently she also as an UTI and they think this may be the cause. Being my mom turned 79 back in Jan, and my dad will be 80 in Nov., this is to be expected.

All in all they are doing okay and mentally they are still sharp as knives and they live on their own. Speaking of which my brother Bob, who lives in Georgia, drove down to their place to be with my dad for a few days.

So if I drop off for longer than usual you know why.

Sometimes longevity can suck. Especially when the mind is sharp but the body is failing. :/

Our thoughts are with you. It really sucks to have a parent in jeopardy.
