I am posting this on my regular page - not for sympathy, maybe out of frustration. I dont know how to make it any more clear to those who dont want to see. Dad is near the end. It is so damn hard to see him how he is now, once so strong and healthy - always strong and healthy with an awesome laugh and such a good outlook on life, now a man who can barely use the left side of his body at all, no muscle in his arms or hands, his hands are bones and skin. His healthy veins that always showed, now and for quite awhile, shrunken down so much that they have a difficult time drawing blood. He is frustrated at how hes been robbed of his life and quality of life, angry and he wants to give up. He has told Betty to tell the nurses and Hospice to stop coming. He refuses to do the exercises the physical therapist says will help with his strength. Open your eyes! He said, Tommy and Tanya havent come. GO. He is dad. I know its scary and I know how much it hurts but he deserves better than pretending its not happening. Be mad at me all you want but go see him. I know life is busy and I know its not easy but do it. I know your circumstances make the travel to him harder but you need to make it happen. He is not on his death bed, Im not saying that.... unless his blood clot comes loose or the medicine they are giving him now in spite of his platelets being too low does something to him, he still has limited time and sometimes when hes sitting in his chair talking, you feel like everything is pretty ok. He has good days and bad days, but the bad days are increasing. Two weeks ago he got a walker, today he got a wheelchair. Its happening. Please go see him, for him.
