Up 29 hours. Maybe 25 minutes of nap

Dad in hospital. So tempted to grab an energy drink while I wait for his completed procedures. Took a 20 minute brisk walk. Didn't help. Anybody have any advice? Energy levels nearing the end.

    Sleep! Your health is imperative in order to take care of his. You can't be there 24/7. It's okay to leave, go home, and get some rest.

    Hope all turns out okay for your dad!

    I love Aldis sugar free energy drinks. 8 calories a can. If any one can bring you any.

    The real fix though is to get some quality sleep. Can another family member take over for a few hours?

    I hope your Dad is on the mend, take care of yourself also x

    Dad had 3 stents put in his heart. He came through like a champ.

    I had the sugar free red bull and a few almonds. Got me through a few more hours. Ate supper with my sister. Made sure Dad was tucked in comfortably, and now I'm home. 8:30 pm local time. Going to bed.

    Goodnight all.

    I'm totally proud of you and how you walked instead of the knee jerk reaction...grabbing the energy drink. Also, you seem like a terrific daughter. Your father is so blessed to have you :)
