Asking for vibes for my dad. He is very feeble. I hope he improves in the next

[applegrove]

couple of days or his quality of life is going to be very limited. Thanks.

1. Best thoughts, dear applegrove.

My dad went on 2/17, my mom passed May 24, both this year.

Hard times, my thoughts are with you.

[applegrove]

4. Oh my god that is so tough. And you didn't tell us. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Vibes to you in your time of need. You are a great egg - they must have been great parents.

I'm just worried my dad will not be able to have cataract surgery. We find out tomorrow if he is mobile enough. If he can't get it he won't be able to read almost at all. And his quality of life will go way down (he reads all day, every day). He's been a lucky guy in many ways. I just don't want to see him suffer this loss. We also find out in the weeks to come if both my parents have to go to a nursing home. Which he will hate. He will not be able to have his nightly two drinks. My mom is pretty oblivious at this point. But my dad is still so sensitive that he is a curmudgeon often. Boy it is hard for people who age. Loss after loss when you are not robust enough to withstand it. Gets to me.

11. Oh, SKP, I'm so sorry to hear that

I only hope that your natural resilience and your sense of humor will get you through this.

16. Thanks, GPV!

I thought about posting it but I'm kind of still in shock and not looking for attention.

The kind thoughts really help.

20. I understand the shock. I had it somewhat with my Dad, but I knew he was short on time. My mom, tho

We lost her out of the blue. Or rather, I didn't recognize the signs of an impending heart attack in her until after the fact.

If you haven't already popped in, please remember the DU bereavement group is there for you.

3. Sending vibes - I hope he gets better

I know how you feel - my Dad spent about two months in hospitals this spring. He's home now and getting better. It's hard raising parents.

5. Oh, I So hope he regains his strength

So many little things make such a big difference when older folks begin to decline. If they can stand and walk even a few steps it makes transfers to bed or chairs or toilets so much more easy.

My roommate in the rehab center has macular degeneration and he was a teacher
who read night and day, too, He's switched to books on tape and, although it took
him a while to adjust... he really likes them now.

Try "Gunsmoke" or "Father Knows Best".
