Scary news

Today I got the news my parent was in the hospital two days ago! My emotional response? I became a bit nervous and emotional. That was to be expected. I had to take my Ativan soon after the call from my other parent. 

My relation, R, stated it was expected a few more years of anxiety on my part due to the news on my parent's ER visit. 

My parent is out if the hospital. A new trial Rx had been given for a gland. My parent took on EVERY SYMPTON noted. 

I never did get the text or email from my lateral relative. Instead, I got a text about reversing diabetes.  I would've been late to a wake in this case!  

I understand wanting to protect me. I still need to be told something within the time constraints. Maybe at the end of the day tell me our parent is at home resting after having taken a medicine that lowered the blood pressure and dehydrated the body. See that. I skipped the anxiety, but was informed after the fact. Two days later with an almost accusatory call from the other parent is not the way to go. A follow up soon after the text, email, or voicemail would've been appropriate.
