not something I want to gloat about

[simplyn2deep]

For days I've been saying my dad didn't sound 'right' or that he was always on pain meds whenever I talked to him. but no one heard the difference.

My mom just called and said that she's been listening to him speak and he speech does sound slurred. I knew it, but since no one else heard or could tell the difference, I thought it was maybe that he always sounded tired.

So they're monitoring him until it's time to go to the hospital for the MRI and my mom will call back later.

eta (11:58am): mom called to say they've taken dad to the ER ahead of his schedule appt because he was unresponsive and his body temp was about 46 degrees. they brought the temp up and he was awake, but she was concerned.

I haven't made a post on FB to let people know because I can't get a hold of my brother and I don't want a repeat of what happened last week

I've always said my dad likes to talk to hear himself talk, I mean, he's apart of Toastmasters and that's a group of people give speeches and have speech competitions but in hearing him and watching him with other people, it's just...more (and equally annoying) and what he was saying...everyone kept making me second guess myself and what I was hearing by saying it was the pain meds
