Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Yep, thats the one. Good for you dad for setting this up. The meds can get really expensive and both my parents are on lots of them.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 My dad was very much more wakeful today. I was with him since 8:30 and he only dozed once while I read (btw - reading a new book as a treat called The Romantic by Barbara Gowdy. Have only read 4 chapters so far but good...quite good). Yesterday, my dad slept soundly pretty much the entire day. I got there after work and stayed til 7 pm and he slept, slept, slept. Could be his body's way of recuperating but I tend to think it's our old friend Lewey striking back. Who ever knows with this blasted disease though. Thanks for the post Courage. It was nice to have the nh be so great about my dad's " homecoming " . Abby PS - the thing about my dad being a bit stronger is that now he think he's invincible. He wants to go to the bathroom by himself, go for a " walk " by himself (he barely can go five feet with a walker and that's with us right by him). If anything, he's a bit more dangerous now that he's more with it. Weird thing is though that he still complains of having his lips numb and his head hurting. The doctor told us that that would subside. I guess I'll just have to mention that to his doctor but there's no followup with the doctor at St. Mike's. Hmmmm.... PPS - How's your dad doing? Sorry I've been a reluctant poster with my dad's surgery, computer woes and my midterm marking. PPPS - Hope you're having an awesome Good Friday Courage. Isn't it beautiful in TO today? A bit chilly but so much nicer than snow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
