Olympic / Persona status again.

[jezzra]

I haven't gotten a damn thing done. 

I've been spending most of my time fretting, concerned, feeling horrible, and worried half to death about my Dad, who I am calling the hospital on very shortly.  I was going to ninja it on him if he continued to protest, but after the past couple days, he agreed he'd go first thing in the morning but wants to call his doctor first.

He's so super, super sick and has been for a couple weeks now.  He'd seem like he was getting better, and then relapse badly.  He can't breathe, I can count on my fingers how many times he's eaten much of anything in the past few weeks, can hardly manage to get himself out of his chair for bathroom breaks ((which to be fair, he usually doesn't get out of his chair so much to move around since he's only got one leg, but this is worse.))

Not to mention, his leg has been split open and leaking.  I'm not sure what sort of level of concern to have for this.  Eczema and psoriasis run in the family and he's always, always had it super bad.  Once in a while it'll strike and make a nasty oozy wound when the skin splits that leaks forever and is hurty and annoying but eventually (if slowly) goes away.  But I know he hasn't been taking anything resembling proper care of it due to his condition and I'm worried half to death that he'll lose that leg too.

Olympic fic not working out so well.  Given a couple days after he's been in the hospital and such and they're working on him, I'll feel better once I get a phone call from him saying "This is what I have, they're fixing me up, and I'll be home again in  X days."

If that does not turn out to be the case, I may have to withdraw from the competition and finish what I was working on sometime after as a ...consolation prize.  I'll know soon.  I truly hope I can finish but I know I can't if I'm in this emotional knot.

Oh Jezz,

I can only imagine what you're going through right now. As I always say, real life comes first. Don't you worry your pretty little head about the online stuff, there's always gonna be a next time. Unfortunately, next times don't always happen in real life.

I'll be keeping you and your dad in my prayers! (Right now I'm. Imagining how weird its gonna sound: and please look over Jezz-ra and her father..lol you gotta love internet aquiantences)

[jezzra]

Heh, thank you for your well-wishes and such. And my name is Jess. XD A friend constantly typo'd my name as Jezz (don't ask me how), and I was on an egyptian kick when I took the whole Pharaoh -Ra thing.

Again, thanks, and Ill post again when I know more.

Well, lol the names Jazmine, nice to "meet" you. That is weird. I've heard of mistaking an s for a z (happens with my name ALL THE TIME) but never vise versa.

I'm glad to hear that your dad has agreed to get help! His condition doesn't sound great, but it's hard to help people if they don't want to be helped.

I hope he improves soon, and please take care of yourself as well in the meantime. Don't worry about Olympics -- that's stress you don't need now. Real life takes priority.

[jezzra]

He's hospital-shy, and for good reason. Every time he's gone in there for little things he comes out with terrible outcomes after an impossible amount of bullshit. @_@ But thank you, and I'll keep everyone posted.

If all is going to be well, Ill need the distraction / something to do during the next week. itll be super quiet around here.

I'm so sorry to hear all this. I'm glad that your father has agreed to get medical care. I hope it turns out to all be manageable and nothing to really worry over. My prayers are with you and your family.

[jezzra]

So stubborn. But today he finally relented, which worries me almost more than anything. *sigh* I hope everything comes out alright, and thank you.

[zelinxia]

My thoughts are with you and your family. I hope all goes well for your father.

[jezzra]

Thank you, appreciate it.

If I have to back out of the Olympics (I'll know in a day or two) I'll be sure to let you know at least a week before my deadline (26th) so you can fill for me. @_@ I'm still hoping things will turn out to be ok and I can finish my entry. I'll keep you posted regardless.

[cloverfield]

Oh, honey.

I hope everything turns out better for the both of you ♥

[aija]

I can relate and oh so hope everything is gonna turn out to be ok for once!
*crosses all available fingers and offers you tea*

Ah, dear, I'm so sorry you're going through this, on top of the trouble you've had with your own health/sleeping and everything. I am so glad your dad is getting some professional care, and please know my thoughts are with you. I know you're worried about him most of all, and you have every right to be, but make sure you're taking care of yourself as well, okay? :*
