Paint Jobs and Cardiac events

So apparently my dad had a "cardiac event" during the night. During the course of the day we discovered that there is swelling around his feet and ankles and now even into his legs, as well as fluid around his heart. So Judy, my step-Sis is visiting him. "How long has this swelling been going on?" she asks him. "Oh for about 4 weeks or so." Four weeks??? 4 freakin' weeks and he's only just mentioning it NOW??? No wonder he is having TIA's and heart trouble. I am sure that he thinks that if he just ignores it, maybe it will go away? Criminy. SO they have him on a diuretic and the DC'd all the meds that might be causing his allergic reactions. He seems to be stable for the evening. This means I can take a couple of benedryl and go to bed and actually sleep.

On a more light hearted note, there is the subject of Blakes new/old car. He was given an old Mazda 323. It was fairly beat up but runs pretty good! So Skyler and Andrew came over today to help him paint his car...
