Dad Update...

Mrs.BibleMrs.Bible member

Hey ladies,

A few of you asked me to update on my dad...

He is doing as well as can be expected.  He is back to his normal grouchy self.  Which is always good...the general rule for me is...if he is grumpy to the point where he hangs up on me because and I quote "....I am trying to take control of his life..." then I know he is feeling much better...lol....

Anyway, lucky for me he is living in small town, texas - and the hospice nurse has agreed to come out to the house on Sunday to meet with me and my brother....so I will know more this weekend when we "decend upon him like vultures" (another quote from my father) - and "take over his life". 

At least I will have back up....I come baring the gift of the newest/youngest grandchild in hand - and DH at my side...

otherwise I think he might not open the door - which he has done to us before - luckily we have keys...lol....oh and my uncle has moved in with him to help out which you would think he would appreciate - but he swears my uncle is trying to kill him via his cooking....

so as you can tell its never a dull moment...and I just try to look at the humor in it all...and just go with the flow...

Oh and just an FYI - he is grumpy / grouchy on a regular - non sick basis but it is the tumor that has him saying all sorts of things...at least that is what we are telling ourselves...Confused

Anyway, I will have more to report after this weekends journery to small town, tx

    I am glad he is doing better.

    He reminds me of my grandfather.  I knew when he was cursing me out, he was feeling better.  Once her really went off on me because I would not bring his hoghead cheese (bleah) to the hospital.   We had our battles, but it was all out of love (at least I told myself that:)

    Thank you for the update!

    I had to giggle inside when reading this.  I practically could have written parts of it.  Since my dad's bone-marrow transplant last Sept., he's been grouchier than ever!  I can't believe some of the things that come out of his mouth.  I have to constantly remind myself, that I'd rather he be getting on my nerves and ignore his comments, than not have him here at all.

    I think the chemo broke his ability to "filter" the things he says.

    You have to appreciate the fact that he is a fighter.  Hope that he continues to get better.
