Quick catch-up

The lancing device I brought for my dad is gone. But because I put up a fuss, a new one appeared in it's place - the same model that I had originally brought.

But it doesn't really matter, because yesterday, my dad had to be readmitted to the hospital. Turns out he's been refusing food and water for days (apparently a voluntary decision), and it finally caused him to become too weak to remain healthy. He's now in the hospital, back on an intravenous, but otherwise in decent shape.
