Helping elderly parents.

[Art 1]

My first go at it. A week or so ago my wife and I were hiking in the Pa. mountains. Upon our return to Canada my mum called that dad had passed out and she had just called the ambulance. So we flew back down to Orlando. My wife was such a big help dealing with the doctors, nurses, setting up home car and driving my mum to the hospital and back. Well, she had to go back to Canada Wednesday. Boy does my dad miss her, the doctors were asking for her too LOL. So I got him home Thursday, learned how to get his pills all set up. Learn to drain the urine bag and measure it. Lots of missed sleep. Cooking and cleaning. I'm staying with them for a while. I'm lucky being self employed I have some flexibility. Dad played football at Carnegie Mellon, is strong and healing fast. We don't use walkers and so forth in my family, don't believe in them. He's almost back to normal. They were great parents and good people. It's my honor to help them and will stay as long as needed. We all miss my wife badly and will be glad when she comes back down. I've learned a lot about me self too during this. I can do a lot, and I'm doing it.
