Was already having anxiety spikes. Now with more fun

Got a text from Sis around 8am that the assisted living was sending Dad to the hospital since he's having chest pain and elevated pulse. I got a call from the hospital at 10:30 to clarify information since Sis is a coward and intentionally left me as the medical POA even though the home still contacts her. Dad did know that he was widowed but didn't know his address (not surprising, I wouldn't expect he would) but what's sad is he didn't know his birthday and he also thinks people are coming to visit. I doubt Sis or her husband are and I don't want to get into it with them.

It seems they must not have sent his cell with him this time which is frustrating but it's not like I can do much from here as it is. I'm hoping that it turns out to be minor since he has had afib/palpitation issues for years and that they can get him stabilized and get him back home. He has a care package from me arriving today as it is. Poor old guy.

Sigh of relief here

Dad's already back! He told me he was going for a walk and he got hit with chest pain and the folks at the facility spotted him and sent him to get checked. I don't know if I'll get details from anyone but it sounds like a bout of angina. Also, I was off on the days of the activities where I thought he'd miss something and it's tomorrow that one of the nurses is bringing in her kitty for a visit. We didn't grow up with pets but he liked my kitties when he met them years ago so I hope some furry therapy helps him tomorrow.
