When an e-mail subject line gives you a sinking feeling

[capri0mni]

Just now, I opened my email box to see a note from my cousin, with the subject line: Your dad. I opened it up, and this is what it said:

Hi, Ann! I just got a call about Lincle - he had a mild stroke which affects his speech, and this morning, he called 911 and got to the hospital, which was the right thing to do. I just spoke with him and he has trouble putting the words together and pronouncing them. I told him I would email you that he is okay, and will probably be admitted to the hospital. I'm so sorry this is happening - I spoke to him on Saturday, and he seemed fine, or status quo. However, he and I both noticed that his speech was sort of different than normal. I told him that I would call you when I know more. Right now, he is in the ER, and waiting for a room assignment. It's 3:29 on Tuesday.


I will stay in touch with you. Take good care of yourself.


Luv, Your Cuz


Damn, damn, damn and blast!

OH no. I relly hope he makes a good recovery. Do't know what to say really, *hugs*

Thank you all. I've got no words, right now, beyond that. It's frustrating to be so far away, but I don't know that it would be any less frustrating if I were closer.

*Hugs back*
