My thoughts and prayers are with you and the swift recovery of your dad.
Hang in there BK!! Hope all goes well with your dad. As others have said, they can do amazing things with surgery and medicine now days!
I've been picker ,hoarder .whatever....Found out today that my dad had a heart attack and is in the hospital. They think it's mild find out more tomorrow... right now stuff is for real. I'm so depressed. My heart is broken...
Just being there will help your dad. He'll be cranky and depressed off and on, but helping him focus not on the Rehab for "Rehab Sake", but getting him to understand that Rehab is his ticket back home where he needs to be to feel better while it gives him support and comfort. Then, while at home, getting dad to do his Rehab when the visiting Physical Therapist is another hurtle. You got to get him to realize that doing the Home Rehab at home is "the way" not to go back to the hospital or the full time Rehab Center... As his strengths come back, he will be grouchy and sore, but he'll soon see your words and help are for the best!
You can't hover over him, so plan some time for yourself to keep your sanity and go do some pickin'. The brief times apart will enrich the time together....
We'll be sending prayers for him and all the family.
Bill
Thanks. He's doing much better. Starting to walk. I'm not sure i could have done the surgery. He's very strong.
Update:
I just bought tickets last night for myself and my kids to go to Pennsylvania for 20 days. We will be going to a big Fourth of July celebration. Going to take my oldest two camping with friends for a couple days, they've never done that before. (tent and all) So we will get to go tubing and bonfires. No hiking as I have a bad ankle. They can go hiking with the other family, I'll tend the beer and fish!!
Other family will be visiting. Going to clean house for an estate sale. Should be a busy eventful last trip home! Next year will be spending a month with them in their other house in South Carolina! Looking forward to it
