It’s no secret that my dad’s an asshole, but I’m torn.
He’s having trouble with his atrial fibrillation again. He’s had it a lot throughout his life, and up until 1-1/2 years ago, he messed around with the medications given to him by heart docs and took them “as needed” even though NONE of them were supposed to be and he was overmedicating with 2 of them, having my uncle pick up more of the medications in Mexico so he could take more because the doc wouldn’t give him that much.
These aren’t narcotics. These are just straight up heart medications.
He also stays in bed as soon as he doesn’t feel good, which brings on water retention.
He got himself to the point 1-1/2 years ago that he put himself in congestive heart failure. He did it to himself. Like how does a person even do that, but he did it.
I can hear it happening again -- he sounds congested, he’s having chest pain, and the atrial fib (made worse by CHF/congestive heart failure) is getting worse.
