and on a darker note...

I really should phone my Dad. I got a call from my stepmother late last night that he went into the hospital day before yesterday with pneumonia. Apparently at first he did not want her to call anyone and let us know, because he "didn't want anyone to make a fuss." I have to suspect that he was afraid that we wouldn't make a fuss. I called Eightball re this news. Haven't talked to Hawk, but the stepmother said she was calling him.

ETA: Dad sounded actually really good on the phone; his voice was strong. Disoriented as to time, but no more so than usual. "I started slowing down on Sunday, but it wasn't until Tuesday that I went to the hospital - hm? Oh. [the wife] tells me today is only Tuesday. I guess I got sick on Sunday."

I hope he's ok. I'm glad he souunded strong, despite the confusion about the time (hospital will do that to you)
