What To Do?

Dad's bored.  I'm tired.  Have to figure out something.  No visitors this afternoon.  Maybe that would have helped us both. 

Learning Experience

Definitely a learning experience, especially in lifting him.  Has two more radiation treatments to go; Monday and Tuesday.  Hope to have a routine by then.  His sleep schedule is off.  He sleeps during the day and awake at night.  Got to get that turned around.

Dad is Home

Paperwork prevented him coming home yesterday but he came home this morning. Now he needs to re-orientate to here. Let the fun begin. The one thing I learned in Montana... How to ask for help. I'm going to be needing it. :)

Dad coming home

If all goes as planned Dad should be home sometime tomorrow afternoon.  He has radiation in the morning and then meeting with Hospice to arrange all the details.  When hospital bed and equipment get set up, he'll be transported home.

He did much better today because he had lots of visitors so he was all smiles.  I feel good about this move even though he had a better day.  They admitted a new lady tonight across the hall who keeps yelling for help every few minutes.  Told Dad just to turn off his hearing aid...  :)

Realizing...

Funny usually when you come home from a hospital it's to health and renewed life. Realizing tonight that it's just the opposite for Dad.  I'm not ready to go there and probably one reason why I gave the Rehab center a try.  It was the only thing left before admitting that if he comes home it will be... in God's time.  Nothing more I can do but make him happy and as comfortable as possible.  It's so hard to face and I'm so tired. All I've been able to do is handle the logistics.  Tonight at 2 AM the emotions of the past month are hitting. Guess that is good.  Now maybe I can sleep.
