So tired. Spent all of last night in the ER with dad. His eye and right side of his face have been feeling funny. He was afraid he was going to have a stroke, or had already had one, so at about 4:30am we set out to the hospital. They did some x-rays, a head CT and an EKG. Everything was normal and the Dr. had no clue. But the nurse suggested maybe it could be Bell's Palsy. As soon as she said it, I mentally kicked myself for not thinking of it first. But, in my defense, it WAS the middle of the night. I told him how it happens, more or less, on the drive back. Dad looked some stuff up when we got home and said that that seemed like it could be it, as he did have an injury to the area of his neck where that particular nerve runs.

Personally, I think he was over-reacting just a tad. Probably because he just got his Will back from the lawyer. He's had death on the brain ever since Uncle died nearly 3 weeks ago. (it's been that long already?!)

His Will is actually kind of funny. It's only a page and a tiny bit of a second page. The whole reason for getting it done was so I woulndn't have to worry about someone trying to take my china cabinet. Not my brothers or anything, but my aunts. They're sneaky, coniving little things and, I really didn't want to have to kill them to keep them from my china cabinet. And I would maim for it, too. But then, it would do me no good to have it if I was rotting in jail for a multiple homicide, would it? So he went and had a will made up so that it was all legal that it was mine and I wouldn't have to worry about anyone trying to take it. And to name me as Executrix of his Estate. HA! Some estate. The only things he really owns that would be in the estate are the house and his truck. His new car isn't even in his name, since he owes money on it still.

Anyway, enough rambling. I'm tired and i think I need to go watch some TV.

Two of my uncles had Bell's Palsy. It went away w/ time.

Sorry that you had a long night with your Dad, but I'm glad you went in anyway. Better to know than not go.

Even if an estate is small, it's still a great idea to have a will, saves a lot of hassle.

I hope you get some good sleep tonight :)

Good to hear they ruled out a stroke. I'm sure your uncle is still heavy on his mind, you know?

I'm so sorry you're going through this! My friend's sister in law had that too but I think she's ok now.

I hear you on the will thing- my mother has things lined out in hers in case my sister (who basically disowned us) and stepsiblings don't try to come in and be jackasses. I can totally see them doing that even though they're nice now. It happened w/their grandmother's stuff.

Jeez babe, sounds like you and I are just having the most WONDERFUL time of things of late, eh?

Too bad you are all the way across the country, otherwise we could hang out. Misery LOVES company, ya know. Glad it was nothing more serious than Bell's Palsy for your dad, though. And I hear you on the will thing. Sometimes even WITH them, though, families can get so fucking WEIRD. Case in point my hubby's family. Good gravy, ALL of his siblings should be ashamed of themselves, bunch of greedy, whiny ASSHOLES! *rolls eyes*
