most fried post ever

ive been up all night, cant think straight! Local medical center just called me at home; he is in ambulance on way to Duke. They said his pain was getting out of control. Everyone is getting him off opiates in case that's contributing. His daughter gets here Friday night. I don't know what to do, my decision-making power has left me, it's all too much, I can't think! What should I do? Go to Duke right now? With no sleep, could I drive safely? My dogs, my dear neighbor will help with, others can help. No one said if he gets surgery. Could this be fatal? Don't I need to get there right now? He doesn't have cell phone. My charger is packed, can't find charger. Oh, I'm in way over my head. I wish I knew what to do, but if I get five different opinions, I still won't know what to do. I guess I should say, "Beth, he is in a medical place, they will take care of him, so do your best to get there, but dont' be hysterical, because YOU'RE not the one that has to do the surgery, so you don't have to be there by daybreak."

Okay, I dont know if I will have laptop with me if I go. I sure plan to. Don't know where anything is, all jammed in suitcases. Okay, will try to sleep for an hour, then do something, I don't know what.

Thank you for caring!!!!! Don't call cell if you can help it, because I can't find the cord, and I'm losing power.

Love!

    Beth,

    Try to do all the practical stuff that you know needs to get done:
    1. Get a hotel reservation in Durham
    2. Get your dog sitter lined up
    3. Repack your suitcase/do some laundry
    4. Charge up your cell and laptop
    5. Run any errands for stuff you might need in Durham.
    6. Call the hospital and get an update on his arrival and situation.
    7. If possible, wait for Emma and have her drive you to Durham so you can rest or maybe sleep on the drive. If you can't wait till evening, call someone, anyone and have them drive you there. I know someone is willing to do that.

    Remember, Bill's in the best hands (God's) and the 2nd best (Duke's).

    Much love and prayers!
