I have been having so much fun keeping in touch a new way--playing a scrabble-like game! Mom won our match today--by 50 points! Way to go, Mom!
Todd and I are in San Antonio. He just got back from golfing; taking a nap. When he wakes up, we'll go out sightseeing and hopefully play some tennis at the complete worst time of day. Oh well, it'll be nice to get out anyway. I've been enjoying a nice long rest in the hotel room, watching movies and catching up on email and surprise--blogging!
So much going on here, exciting things, too--Cheryl moving here, Mike getting engaged, Cale starting his new job as a fire fighter and living in the cabin, and Zane getting his driver's license.
Cheryl and I have been trying to get Dad on a schedule but it's been difficult with his scooter out of service. The repairs are going to wipe out his meager savings. It's OK; his needs are simple. I do think his quality of life would be so much better if he was on a routine and would do his PT on his own. We have been looking at his budget to see if there is a way we could hire some help, someone clever and persuasive who could coerce him into doing it; but that was depending on the savings that is no longer...Oh well, there is only so much we can do. It seems that the more we do for him, the more he expects us to provide for his happiness. He has a doctor appointment next week. That's going to be fun...not. He hates going; this appointment is a "new patient" appointment my doctor made for him when she agreed to be his doctor way back when he needed one in order to be released from the hospital with services. All the PT and nursing visits have ended now, and it's amazing how much he has gone downhill. I wonder how long he can manage on his own...Anyway, it's much easier that Cheryl and I can tackle these issues together.
I did not know your son started a job as a firefighter! Its a great job and one you have to LOVE to stay with for a lot of years, but the rewards are awesome! Good luck to your new firefighter!
Have fun in Texas!
Isn't HOT in Texas already? Yeah, I am glad that Cheryl is there with you to shoulder the burden of your old guy. My mom is wearing me out and pretty much killing me.
I'm glad you have someone to help you with your dad; that is going to be a job!
You have so much going on in your life! Jobs and engagements and movings and licences - wow!
Thanks for finding a second to post here. Where did you find the Scrabble game?
I'm sorry to hear about your dad's health. If I can help you or your family in any way give me a call. <3 Addictive personalities tend to take and expect.. ...till they are given more than they expected.
