talk about a HORRENDOUS week/month...
my friend who's been getting messed with went into the hospital Saturday. He has high blood pressure, so he checks it every time he's grocery shopping...I guess he had like 190 over 30 or something crazy like that so he went to the hospital.
Had to stay overnight. They ran a battery of tests...he has kidney disease and has to go on dialysis...
and Sunday was his youngest son's birthday. and here my wife and i are on x-mas eve watching his kids and god only knows where their xmas presents are and apparently, he and his soon-to-be-wife (yeah, SOON-to-be, as in holy crap the legal confusion of all this stuff) werent even done shopping yet...now, i care more about him and his health, but you know kids...especially since they have a 9 and an 11 year old...and a 13 year old...they can be a bit more: "Christmas sucks because I didn't get good presents" type than the 18 year old. Just a terrible situation all-around. Me personally, I'm mostly praying that my friend winds up being ok.
