July has lots of babies.... That means November is one hell of a busy month. XDD

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GINGER~!!!
Joyeux Anniversaire!

For a day, be a kid and go absolutely nutty-happy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was worrying before about getting what both my parents have. Hypertension and ulcer.

I've early traces of peptic ulcer, by the way. *laughs it off*

Anyway.

I was shaken awake this morning by my Mom, and we brought my dizzy Dad to the hospital. At the E.R., his blood pressure shoots up, his head and nape aches, his ulcer kicks in and he throws up blood.

After watching the hospital staff scramble to find my Dad a room in an otherwise almost-packed hospital (my Mom's an HR officer, and pretty much everyone on the hospital staff 'went' through her), I next watched my Dad get pierced with this and that tube, get three injections in thirty minutes...

Nurse with ECG: Could you take your belt off, sir?
Dad:..........
Nurse with ECG: ...Sir? The belt?
Dad: ... why do you want my belt off? *looks at MOTHER, standing there wordlessly*

Dad who loves food: May I eat rice?
Doc: Your esophagus has perforations due to your cough. You can't.
Dad who loves food: ... what about that apple?
Doc: Not even that.
Dad who loves food: Okay...
Doc: And we need to take a blood sample early tomorrow morning, so please don't eat anything until then.
Dad who loves food: WHY NOT!! *wails*

After throwing up (with some blood). I paint a pretty picture, don't I.

Dad: My stomach hurts....
Mom: It's the ulcer acting up.
Dad: My head...
Mom: That's what the hot pack is for, keep still.
Dad: This is bad... my vision is blurry.....
Mom: .....
Mom: That's because you don't have your glasses on.

Dad watches the IV drip.

Dad: I want to go home.
Mom: You just got here.
Dad: Ask them if I can take the IV home.
Mom: HOW OLD ARE YOU?

....Watching these two almost make me want to get married. Almost. What it does make me want to remain as, however... is their daughter.

Thanks for the tweets, guys. He's fine. A little hungry, and cranky... but he charms the nurses by turning their medical questions to absolute nonsense, and my mom's waaaay past caring about her reputation being marred by this crazy old guy who calls himself her husband. XDD

Good that your dad is on his way to recovery. It's scary when it is our parents that get sick...

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

When one of them gets sick, I get stressed. THEN the other parents even gets more stressed, which leads me to be MORE stressed. Having two hypertensive parents stressing out is scary......

But he's better now.

[hemisofia.livejournal.com]

Eek. Ulcer *remembering my doctor's repeated threats to give me an endoscopy the next time I see her for a gastritis* Yikes.

Hope he gets to go home soon! XD Maybe you can bring him your Arashi collection to keep him entertain in hospital

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Endoscopy! LOL. My dad shirked that TWICE when his doc told him to come back for an endoscopy. he said he didn't like the thought of a long tube being stuck into him. Looks like this time around his doc is going to shackle him until he agrees.

Why aren't you having it yet?

My endless flood of cousins are enough to entertain him so... yeah.

[hemisofia.livejournal.com]

Because its a LONG TUBE STUCK DOWN YOUR THROAT AND BEYOND! I am so not doing that unless I really, really have to.

The only worse thing than that is colonoscopy!

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

LOL!!! True. I think that's what scared my Dad, too.

...... Colonoscopy... involves the colon? I still cringe everytime they stick something on one's lower back on HOUSE. Every.Single.Time.

[nana-komatsu7.livejournal.com]

I hope your dad will be fine soon... he is really funny, I can understand why you are so inspired about being like that ♥

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

He is such a baby. I can't really stay mad at him for so long. :)

Thanks, he's doing much better. :)

[nima99.livejournal.com]

Aww, I hope your dad gets better soon dear. Seriously, ouch ulcer. It always scares me when my mum gets sick.

Your dad seems awesome though XDD And your mum too.

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, he'd doing better. He got his ulcer from his dad, and passed it on to me. *sniff*

They'd better be awesome; they're the only one I got. LOL.

[loissama.livejournal.com]

July has a lot of birthdays!!

Your dad is so cute!! And your mother is perfect for him, soulmate.
Oh, my God, I think if I was there to watch someone coughs blood, I couldn't handle it. I would get dizzy and pass out. I hate bloods and needles, anything relates to medical, but I love hospital. Weird it is.

Wish your dad to recover and get back home soon and eats foods that he loves.

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Yeah! My eyes are bulging at the number of July babies. XD

They can tolerate each others' quirks and eccentricities, and they laugh at each other, which is the trick, I suppose. I only recall seeing them fight once, and that was when I was still sooooooo young that I don't remember what it was about anymore.

I'm ok with blood and needles, as long as they're not mine, and the needles aren't sticking on any part of me. *shudders*

Thanks. He's doing better, but when he gets back home, we'd be guarding what he eats. he's getting way too much freedom lately.

(frozen)

[becky-49.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear you dad's fine. Hope he can go home soon. It's scary when our parents get sick.

Your dad's so funny, and your mom is great too. I can see why you're inspired.

(frozen)

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, he seems better, just need to consume all the meds and finish those IV drips.

They complement each other. I like hearing them make fun of each other, coz they have such a good time doing it. :)

[ginger-ame.livejournal.com]

Dear Jeffer,
I'm really really grateful that you left this birthday message for me ! I'll try to follow your advice ^_^

Anyway, please take good care of yourself and of your parents (I'm sure you already do ^_^). They really seem to be a nice couple, I would love to share such a complicity with someone !
My own Dad looks a lot like yours, in his behavior. Last time he went to the hospital, he kept asking when he could leave...
On a happier note, I think that's totally positive that he was able to think about eating after having such a trauma... One of my friends got an ulcer at the age of 23, he's quite healthy now, but has to be careful about what he eats.
Anyhow, I hope the consequences for your Dad will be of lesser importance, since he was hospitalized quickly :)
I'm not on Twitter, but if it's ok with you, I hope you'll let us know here how he fares and when he can leave the hospital.
*big hug*
See you !
(^_^)/
And thanks so much for the message once again, especially during such a hard time !
~Ginger

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Heeyyyyyy, how'd you spend your birthday!

If you mean standing guard and slashing his foodlist into less than half, then yes I most definitely will. :) He truly does love food, and is good at the kitchen too, but needs some reining in.

He was actually scolded because he had been having mild flu and cough for a week. Only when he had the dizzy spells did he agree to be taken to the hospital.

*hugs back* Thanks for the thought~ And will try to be more... err... update-y here. It's a good thing a lot of you are July babies, then I've an excuse to actually post. XDDD

Hope you have an easier time lately, too..... Don't stress out too much.... GO FISH!

[ginger-ame.livejournal.com]

Hi Jeffer !
My birthday was so-so, but all the heart-warming messages I got on LJ and through my cell-phone made my day brighter. I was able to blow the candles on my b-day cake and tell the persons around that I was happy to be 32 : I think it's the first time in my life that I felt what I said with such accuracy :)
*points at her icon*
And look at the beautiful icon Tenjo-chan made for me ! Isn't she sweet ?! <3

I love people who love food and who likes cooking :) Your father, even far away as he is, feels quite close to me ^_^ I feel like I can understand him a bit. Recently, I also tried to do my best at cooking less - and lighter - , but it's not that easy to get rid of some bad habits (science tells you that fats stock the flavors and that's definitely true ;_;). I'm lucky to love fruits...
Ahhhh sorry, it turns out to be once again a long comment about myself ^^; <- big ego inside

Anyway, you know I love your long posts and having news from you, so I'm always happy to read you ! But I also know you've got plenty of activities, so update when you feel like it :)

Thanks a lot once again for your support ^_^

No kidding, I'm thinking more and more about trying to go fishing on the sea. Just got to find where and how xD
*hugs*
~Ginger

Being sick is never fun....I kind of understand what your dad is going through.....*sigh*.... atleast your dad has retained his sense of humor through all of that.....and your parents are sweeet....

Hey, take of yourself too....

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

IMO, sense of humor is a good way to get through ANYTHING.

Thank you......

[snoew.livejournal.com]

awwwwww!! what a sweet pair of parents u have :D definitely feel the love.
hope he'll be fine real soon~!! and dont worry too much bout urself okay, just enjoy life fullest with..less regrets :) its kinda impossible to have no regrets i know :P
*HUGS*

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Thanks! He's better now. Wants to go home after one day and one night, but they won't let him go just yet.

YES. As Tim McGraw sings, "LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYING." I'm trying to do that. :)

*HUGS BACK*

Oh....

[khinkhun14789.livejournal.com]

peptic ulcer is quite... not good, and quite painful :*(, and Stress - Chronic Stress can be the cause also, Watch more Arashi and don't be stress ^_^, if you feel stress, feel free to make angry journal entries, punch the nearest soft object, or scream out loud...^_^

I hope your dad will be well soon *pray*

Ohhh, the last time I saw someone throw up blood was my uncle (he drinks too much, got ulcer, and always sneak out of the hospital... then the last time they shipped him in, he throws up lots of blood, his body is just...)

Don't worry, your dad seemed like he's still okay ^_^ *pats* ^_^

I understand how he feels watching the IV drips... *sigh* last time I was in the hospital, I kept on thinking about the last episode of the TV show I'll miss, then sleep and sleep and sleep, it was really boring, and mostly lonely (in the emergency room where no one in my family was permitted to be in) ... :^(

Your parents are wonderful ^_^ Your family sounds awesome, don't worry you're getting through it fine ^_^

Re: Oh....

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Yeah... Only had one mild peptic attack so far... But I'm careful.

Thanks, he seems to be doing better now. :)

When I was in the hospital, my only thought was the hot doctor and the even-hotter nurse don't come in with my every-four-hours antibiotic shot coz it huuuuuuuuurts like helllllll. :) I had no thought for much else. LOL.

[juninodaisuki.livejournal.com]

A very very inspirational marriage life. Somehow they sounds like a perfect tsukkomi-boke. xD But I'm glad that your dad is okay. Hope he'll fully recover soon!

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

They can get incorrigible sometimes, and it gets worse when they become incorrigible AT ME, TOGETHER. But they're cool. :)

Thanks, he's doing better now. :) Hopefully he gets home soon.

[kailice.livejournal.com]

I'm glad your dad is doing better! I'm praying he has a quick recovery :)

[bheej.livejournal.com]

I hope you dad get well soon and will be released from the hospital soon so he can eat all the food he wants. I know what you mean it's same with my parents sometimes they're just like kids.

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY. Sometimes i wonder if this is how it goes, with them acting up and me being embarassed half the time. :)

[pokechessi.livejournal.com]

Hope youre father feels better, and you do paint a pretty "sacarstics" humorous picture jejejeje ^^

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Thanks~ He's doing better.

Believe me, it is funnier-more annoying in reality. XD I can't do justice to their silliness.

[pokechessi.livejournal.com]

I can imagine my parents are the same XD

[jliann.livejournal.com]

Awww, hope your Dad-who-loves-food hangs in there! (You guys can treat him to a healthy meal after all this, lol)

....Watching these two almost make me want to get married. Almost.
XD I feel the same, too when I watch my parents. But, well... if the right guy comes along? I might capitulate.

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

I actually wanna watch him salivate over food he CANNOT eat. XDD

Haha! Tough customers, aren't we. IF the right guy even exists. At least for me.

[mabechid.livejournal.com]

I hope your dad gets better soon. But he's pretty funny despite having to be taken to the hospital.

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

I get my wry sense of humor (i think I have some) from him. :) He's better, but looks like he has to stay in the hospital for a couple of days more.... complications.

[choco-disco.livejournal.com]

Are the font colors for your birthday messages according to ichibans...? :D

Haha your parents sound like mine, except my mom is the ditzy one XD Glad to hear your daddeh's doing well~

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Lol. You noticed!!!!

It's good for the sanity to have kinda-off parents, IMO. It's also good for the self-esteem. XDD

[sunnydreams416.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear that your dad's doing better! That seems so scary.
It totally sounds like my parents... my dad acts the same way ^^

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

There are still complications, but he's so whiny that I think he'll be fine in a few days.

Fun, right? Never a dull moment. XD

[natsu-no-tsuki.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Glad your dad is ok

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

*hugs back* Thank you. He will be.

[itsmysunshine.livejournal.com]

So sorry to hear about your Dad.. And I haven't been tweeting these days, so late to know Dx.. *smacks herself*

You know, first thing came to my mind when I read your Dad and Mom's convo was "That... sounded like Ohno wailing to his Mom..."

*gets bricked*

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

LOL. Nah.... Ohno's way cuter. *hides from 'addee*

[empire-of-shit.livejournal.com]

omg I was kinda nervous while reading it ._. good thing everything's okay <3
