Good morning all! It's that lovely time of the week! It's Friday!
Sorry about missing last week. We've been dealing with some shit for the last 2 weeks and I haven't been in a great mindset due to it. Remember we were celebrating the father in law's 70th b-day a few weeks back? Well it went great while we were there. We left at 10:30 PM cause we have an hour drive home and about 10 minutes later, we get a call from Steph's friend who was still there saying that her dad fell and hit his head and wasn't responding. We quickly turn around and when we get there the fire dept. is already there checking his vitals and seeing if he's ok. He was kinda responding but mostly not. We knew he was confused. Everyone had to convince him to go get checked out at the hospital because this is a stubborn 70 year old retired marine. It's a good thing he did too because it turns out, he had a small fracture in his neck and suffered a brain bleed. Obviously not good. He was admitted to the hospital and stayed a few days because he started getting a little worse. Showing confusion and wasn't able to really move by himself. He's now in a rehab center and while he's doing better and slowly getting his strength back, there's still some confusion there and he isn't able to walk around without assistance. The expected discharge date is 2/1 so we're hoping he takes full advantage of his rehab as they're trying to help him recover his memory more and regain his strength but again, he's stubborn.
With all that said, we haven't been in the best of moods the last few weeks. I've been trying to be as supportive as possible but in doing so, have been neglecting my own mental health a bit. I'll be fine, but I'd be lying if I said it hasn't effected my mood ya know? We'll pull through. The wife and I have been through a lot of tough times together and this is just another very unfortunate one. Hoping her dad is able to make a full recovery or at least close to it.
In better news on the gaming side, I finished Jedi Survivor and absolutely loved it. Better then Fallen Order in just about every way and I was happy for the distraction. I can definitely highly recommend this one if you like similar games. Now the long, month wait for FF7 Rebirth.
