Good vibes needed

Tomorrow morning I'm hopefully picking my dad up bright and early and driving him to the V.A. Hospital, where we will have to sit around and wait for a walk-in appointment. Dad's health has been failing, and recently he's been falling. The falls are becoming more frequent, and it's only a matter of time before he really hurts himself.

Apparently, he had an MRI several months ago but refuses to tell anyone what, if anything, was discovered. I've offered to take him to the doctor numerous times, but he refuses... until now.

I suspect he knows what's wrong and is too scared or stubborn or proud (take your pick) to tell us. I suspect he's either having strokes or some other neurological problems. I suspect he knows there's something seriously wrong.

I guess I might find out tomorrow, IF he wakes up in time and IF he actually consents to go with me and IF we get to see the doctor and IF she even tells me anything.

Any spare good vibes would be greatly appreciated.
