The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It's a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.This was officially the week from hell. On Wednesday I took my Dad to the emergency room because he was experiencing numbness/tingling in his leg. An MRI revealed a 75% blockage on the right side of his carotid artery and he suffered a minor stroke. It really was a blessing because without the warning signs it could've been a big one. This Wednesday he's scheduled to have the artery opened up and the plaque cleaned out. After a couple weeks recovery I'm hoping everything will be back to normal for him.
At the same time I had to call Tara's cardiologist to see if he could fit her in because she was experiencing some respiratory distress. He removed 100 mL of fluid from her chest and started her on another medication. She still isn't acting herself but I'm praying this is just a bump and she bounces back.
I think falling apart family members should be considerate and take turns, don't you???

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry. I hope your dad's surgery goes well, and your right, at least he had the warning signs. Poor Tara, I hope she bounces back soon. What a week. :(
I also downloaded Dial C for Chihuahua, the cover is cute.
I hope things go well for your dad and Tara as well.
You got a nice haul of books.
