Yesterday my father had an accident yesterday with one of his pieces of equipment and he almost lost a finger and he cut the other finger pretty badly as well as his leg. My father has a super high pain tolerance. He survived two heart attacks, falling off the back of his truck and hitting the back of his head on a rock, getting electrocuted on our roof, getting burned, arthritis and a lot of other things. He’s invincible and still would be up and running in a day or two, much to my mother’s annoyance (she’s a nurse)

I just went into my room and he was lying on my sister’s bed wincing in pain. He was barely able to talk, and when he did it sounded like he was on the verge of tears. Then he said “It’s hurting so much, I’ve felt all kinds of pain and nothing comes close to this, it’s so bad, bad bad bad”. It hurt to hear. I felt so helpless. All I could do is bring him his painkillers and even they aren’t strong enough to deal with the pain. He’s suffering so much, I can’t even begin to imagine. My stomach feels like it’s being cut to pieces but I don’t want to complain because it’s nothing compared to his pain. I’m being such a baby again. I just want all his pain to go away. I’m helping him as best as I could and doing whatever he needs and doing chores but I can’t take his pain away. My mom is out atm so I’m by myself with my siblings and I feel so stressed. I just want it to be okay so that he could come back and tease and nag us and play with us. He looks so weak with his limping. It’s making remember that he’s almost 60. I want to put him in a bubble or something so that nothing would happen to him ever again. I don’t want to lose my daddy😭
