# - Your dad's fall is curious. You may want to contact the hospital and ask for his doctor and see if they can screen him for alzheimer's. I wouldn't call your dad because he may forget to ask (or just not to) ask the doctor to do it and I think it's important. How long could another episode last? That one lasted 3 days and that's getting into dangerous territory when it comes to needing water. He is your dad, it's ok to be concerned even if you don't like him. :) Sorry your period got bad. That is one reason I'm so thankful I'm post-menopausal. ;) I'm off to read your wonderful story. :D

I'll try contacting the hospital tomorrow. I hate making phone calls so maybe I can get Brian to speak xD

He's going to be in rehabilitation for two weeks so that the hospital can determine whether or not he can live on his own. Luckily I don't have a home of my own so at no risk of him moving in. I can barely stand him on a good day, I would not be a good caretaker. Even when I help Brian out after he gets out of a surgery, he tries to get back on his feet asap or otherwise tries to help me out.

Yeah, my emotions are all over the place.

I can't wait until the periods stop xD

Wish that Elisif was a marriage candidate in Skyrim. Her and Serena are two big NPCs that you can't marry but I really want to xD

So sorry for your Dad. I can't imagine being on the floor for 3 days! But he didn't know it was that long. I guess that's a good thing. I can't imagine an entire house being tiled. Thank you. I'm so sorry you are having chronic pain. I live with it too, but not as bad. Thank you.

My brother died last night at 10:46 pm. I'm glad he's not suffering anymore but my heart hurts and feels so heavy. We will miss him so much.

=<^.^>= Wishlist Come check out my shop! Always willing to haggle if the price is right.

I am SO sorry to hear of your loss and actually understand the pain you are feeling as I lost my father in '22 rather suddenly and that loss still pains me. I wish I could give you a hug right now.

Cigarettes are just like squirrels; perfectly harmlesss...until you put one in your mouth and light it on fire!

- I'm so sorry, hon. Big Hugs May his memory be a blessing. ❤

- Don't be so hasty there, hhon, menopause isn't all it's cracked up to be. I hate some parts of it (hot flashes) as much as I hated my period. :/ Any news about your dad? Is he getting better? :? You mean there isn't a mod out there letting you marry Elisif by now? :D

huggles you tightly

Oh there's at least one mod to allow you to marry Elisif. But since I'm playing on console, I need to earn the final achievement before I can start using them. Not usually an achievement person but Skyrim is a good game xD

There are also mods so you can marry Serena. And of course some people get offended by that as they treat her like a real person. In canon she doesn't want to marry due to being raped.

There are some mods you can't use on console. I believe any mod that allows you to kill kids isn't allowed on console. There is one annoying brat in Windhelm that I yearn to slaughter. I play as an Argonian and he mocks the Argonian dock workers.

Dad should have been put in a rehabilitation place until they knew why he fell. But his insurance won't pay for that and so he was sent home. Visited him again today.

Evening All.....

I am so very sorry to hear about ur brother. Glad he isnt suffering anymore, but it doesnt make this any easier. Im here if u need to talk. I have had many losses recently in my family. Sometimes it just feels a little good to talk, even to a semi-stranger lol Hugs

Sorry to hear ur dad took a fall. I hope he heals quickly. But I agree they should evaluate him thoroughly to see why he fell and if he needs to be in an assisted living or a nursing home or even at home with nurses and PT, OT coming in. I hate when hospitals and Dr's dont do what needs to be done, esp for older people. I delt with sooooo much of that kinda BS with my mom and my father in law when I was caring for them. Thankfully they lived with us and since I stay home I was able to care for them and helped them with everything. I did have a nurse and PT, OT coming in also, but mostly it was me.

Im just on here doing my dailies (LATE) lol Went grocery shopping with my 1 daughter today, I cannot believe how expensive things r getting!!! Its gonna come to it that I wont shop for much of anything anymore. I need to get a bigger house and some land so I can grow it and raise it, so I dont have to buy it all. Ok, NIght All... Gonna go read a little until I fall asleep :-)

Health Insurance are complete villains. Doctors will want to provide certain care and then Health Insurance will say it's not needed.

We (me and Brian) want dad to make copies of his keys to give to some of his friends and neighbors. So if Dad falls again someone will be able to get to him quickly. Part of the reason no one checked up on him earlier was because no one had his house key.

- Oh, well if you're trying to get the achievements, then I completely understand. :) :O They just sent him know without getting to the bottom of the cause? Insurance companies these days really do suck. I know it took a lot out of you to call him, are you doing ok? How is your dad holding up? :D

Last achievement I need is Oblivion Walker. First playthrough I didn't get one of the Daedric Artifacts. Now have to wait until I get to a certain part of the Main Plot in my second playthrough. And I didn't want to start the Main Plot UNTIL joining every faction.

I do want to divorce Derkeethus in my second playthrough (done through mods) as he's lovable, sexy but glitchy. I like to have my family move to my different properties but with him I can't. Not unless I want to ever see him again xD

So I am stuck with them living in Riften at the moment.

Yeah, they just let him go home. The hospital called me so I didn't have to wait to call them. I visited him yesterday and he's doing okay. He's a little weak but is acting like nothing is different. We didn't tell him that I was the one to be worried about him getting dementia and I'm glad we hid that as he didn't like the idea.

I'm doing a lot better but worried if I'll get another call that he fell again. I'm distracting myself through work and streaming mostly.

oh no :( My condoleances... take your time to grive this loss.

- You just talking about it reminds me how complex and involved a game Skyrim is. I didn't get very far in it but my hubby played the whole way thought and loved all of it. :) Your dad may not like to hear that it may be dementia but he has to put his big-boy pants on and understand that something is seriously wrong with him. Normal people don't spend 3 days on the floor of a closet. (Wow, I didn't realize how bad that sounded until I typed it. :/ ) He needs to take control of his medical issues before there's nothing left to take control of, bu t then, you understand this already. I hope you don't get another call, too. :D

- Perhaps go down to the station and talk to them in person? Wait, is it the police who aren't paying attention to your complaint or the rental company? :/

Yeah, there's a lot to do in the game xD

And fans can get really defensive about their views. Like Imperials vs. Stormcloaks can start a riot xD

Only pro-Stormcloaks' view I have a deep loathing for is that the faction can't be racist because there are other racists in the series.

Brian was supposed to call someone yesterday but I don't think he did. His allergies are affecting him pretty badly so I haven't asked to check. I haven't had any updates from Dad so I think that's a good thing.

I have another chapter out.

Why is she getting a faster response than you?

- It all sounds so convoluted, i probably wouldn't have gotten very far even if I could have played through it. I would have gotten caught up in one viewpoint or other and just stopped playing. XD Well, I hope no news is good news. I hope Brian feels better. :) I'm off to read it. :D

Gameplay wise there isn't too much distinction between both sides. So you could casually play it and decide which side to join based on aesthetics. Heck, you could avoid the Civil War questline completely if you wanted to. It honestly isn't that impressive and even when you win the civil war the moot isn't held so the leader you supported is never made High Queen (or King) of Skyrim. The changes to the game are honestly minimal.

I decided on Imperials initially due to seeing the Argonians on the Windhelm docks and how poorly they were treated. Ulfric, not his father, made some excuse of protecting the Argonians by placing them on the docks as basically slave labor.

We'll be calling dad tomorrow as I need money for some dentist thing.

And, yeah, Jash read the entire library multiple time. The trick is just being burdened by grief n.n

But one of my neighbours send a email and got reply back so i send another this time mad one asking why she gets a reply and not me. Long story short we taking them up on a meeting without the frootloop. Wonder when it will happen.

I had a nice evening walk last night until i got home. He was at my door ringing the doorbell. I did not open the door and told him no, trough the door. He kept ringing and ringing. I called my neighbour (who i just walked with) in panic he was at my door. She came and he just walked away.. idiot. Send another mail and complaint about him... nothing.. sheesh..

Anyway slept crap and was scared. glad i am off today.

- I'll remember that for the next time hubby plays it. Perhaps we'll just skip the civil war altogether this time. :) Good luck with the cal to your dad, I hope it works out. :D

- I'm glad you had a nice walk but upset that he was at your door ringing the bell when you got back. It was good of your neighbor to help get him away from the door. I hope the meeting is soon so you can get this resolved. :D

- Hi! I hate adulting so I just don't do it. :D

Perhaps :)

Dad is driving short distances when he isn't supposed to. The expression on Brian's face was just priceless xD

Dad agreed that the payment for my dentist thing was no problem.
