Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...a Blessed Lord’s Day to the MacNessa family. Hope your day has gone well.

A really rough one here....my Dad wouldn’t get up and get ready for his finger stick appointment, then he wouldn’t eat breakfast, he wouldn’t put in his hearing aid, wouldn’t get socks on, didn’t know where his walker was. I finally got him downstairs and in the car sans socks. Just an hour ago I woke him up, made him get up and go find his walker. He thinks it’s a game, but if he falls and breaks something, I don’t expect him to ever come home. I have to get a hand rail installed in the hall. I think I’ll go get the materials tomorrow.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Kathy.

I can understand your Dad not wanting to use the walker - I hate it myself. Your Dad is indeed fortunate to have you to care for him. He is in our thoughts and prayers.

A blessed Lord’s Day to you, Kathy.

That is sure hard to read that (post no. 16). He has to want to do all those things to keep on going.

And you’re absolutely right — falling is a big deal when you are older/elderly.
