FIL

My FIL was admitted to the hospital today.  He is fine...well, he is really unhealthy, but he is always really unhealthy.  He got a stomach bug, got dehydrated, and kept taking his blood pressure meds, so his blood pressure plummeted and his kidneys were having problems.  DH has been there most of the afternoon but he's on his way home now.

(and here is the part that makes me a terrible person...I am kind of annoyed.  He is in horrible horrible shape, chain smoker, doesn't take care of himself at all,,,and he ends up in the hospital like this every few years.  It disrupts and stresses out Ed and my MIL and I just feel like FIL does so much to sabotage himself and these hospital trips are never a wake up call, and I just don't have a lot of sympathy...and then I feel guilty about that...)

Re: FIL

  • Oy.  Well, I hope that one of these days he wakes up and realizes what he needs to do to be healthy.  I can understand why you think what you do and don't think you're a terrible person for it.

    Here's hoping he gets better soon!

  • Don't feel bad for feeling this way, it makes sense.  Sorry that he's putting you through this.  I have very little tolerance for people who don't take care of themselves.
