It's been an eye opening week at my Dad's in PA. His world is a lot smaller in a very short period of time due to some health issues. Now we are working to improve this situation, but I think with the two steps back that he's taken, it shall be only one step forward. A new plateau.
This is tough for a very very active senior. You can slide downhill fast.
The uphill climb is a lot harder
I will be exploring this more once I'm back in TX.
Meanwhile, head up, laugh, and go take a walk around the block.
Enjoy your weekend and do stuff you really want to do

It's difficult watching our parents take those steps back. Prayers for your father's situation.
ReplyDeletethanks. He's a trouper. Just not used to slowing down. He gets frustrated
DeleteHi Joanne - I'm sorry to read this ... so difficult for him and so difficult for you and the family. He, at least, has you all around and taking care of him, or keeping a wary eye out ... yes the uphill climb is harder ... your laughter will lighten the load.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all you can ... with thoughts Hilary
thanks so much for your kind words. It's a new world for my siblings and me to deal with. We took for granted his good health. Now we are scrambling a bit. It will be fine, just takes time
DeleteI'm sorry to hear of your Dad's decline. I went through this with both of my parents, and I know how difficult it is. I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe've had laughs. I'm headed back to TX but shall return soon. Meanwhile my brother and sister shall stay vigilant
