Confused

I don't even know what emotion to say I am at the moment. One of my best friends is going through so much crap right now and I can't really do anything for her, if there was I would in a minute. And than there is this thing with my Dad....I don't even want to think about that but it's about all I can think of. We don't know how bad it is yet, he went to get a catscan today. The first doctor said he wanted to schedule surgery as soon as possible, so hopefully we'll know a little more by the end of today. I don't like feeling helpless, but with everything going on at the moment that's how I feel...I just want to help someone.
