When Dad was in the hospital a few weeks ago, he got an eye infection which prompted a long visit to the Eye clinic. |

Dad was watching the synchronized diving yesterday, and commented that he would love to be able to do something like that. "I would love for you to be able to get in and out of bed without moaning in pain because of your bum hip." I thought. I guess we all have our goals! |

I went to pick up Dad from having dinner with my sister Susan earlier this evening. When I was walking out the door, my little dog Lola snuck behind me and hopped in the car. She was so excited on the way to meet Dad! The petting machine was coming home! On the way home, she was wagging her tail and licking him and rolling all over his lap. "I brought your favorite girl." I announced. "You are my favorite girl." Dad corrected. Awwwww. |

No, not those little games over there in China. I am talking about the nurse aide games going on here at my house. Dad's new aide Inky started on Monday. She and Dad became fast friends and chatted incessantly. The next day, Edna (Dad's other aide) brought Dad some homemade brownies. He loved them! Wednesday, Inky took Dad to the Cookie Factory. She is so wonderful! Thursday, Edna bought him a Double Chocolate Molten cake at dinner. What a great gal, that Edna. Today, Inky brought in some Chocolate pie. I hope we make it through the weekend without a heart attack! But like Dad always says "If I die eating dessert, what a great way to go!" |

Last night, Dad and I went to look at another piece of property to see if it was suitable for the six-resident Family Care Home I am building in my town for people with mild cognitive impairment. We were talking about the fact that the first home will be for all women and the second for all men. "Any young, good looking ladies moving in?" Dad asked with a sly smile. "No Dad you have to be elderly to live there." I replied. "I'd rather have women in their twenties than women born in the twenties." What a stud. |

Dad's new aide, Inky started work today. We lost our wonderful Little Sam to pregnancy (I'm all for procreating and everything but TWO nurses in a row, come on!) and thankfully found a great replacement right away. She will be taking over his daily physical therapy, and we were discussing if they should start walking at the mall or the YMCA during the summer and winter months when the weather will not allow them to walk at the park. "I like the mall because it is more interesting, and they have the Cookie Factory at the mall." Said Inky. My Dad's face lit up like a Christmas tree! I think it was love at first ... cookie! |

Last night, I was talking to Dad about my Six Bed Family Care home I am building for people with Dementia here in town. I have always felt that a smaller, residential setting is better than an institutional type place so the residents don't feel like they are living in a hospital. Anyway, there isn't one here in town, so I decided to build one. I also decided to build the house as environmentally friendly as possible. So I went to a meeting last night where a lot of the people involved in "green building" were going to be networking. When I told Dad I was going to build the house "green", He replied, "I think that if you paint the house green, it may turn some people off. I like the grey cedar shakes and natural stone like it looks in the picture in your office."' Like Kermit says, "It ain't easy being green!" |

You know how when your car is making a funny noise for weeks and you finally bring it to the mechanic and the noise is completely gone? Same with Dad and his hip with the physical therapist. He has been complaining about it being stiff and painful every five minutes since Sunday. Finally, the physical therapist showed up yesterday and I told him about the hip as if it were going to fall off his body at any moment. "There's nothing wrong with my hip." He said, "It feels just fine." I bet the physical therapist thinks I'm crazy! |
