Dad did fine last weekend. We went out to dinner on Saturday and had swordfish with bean salsa. Dad did not eat much of the fish, but he ate his carrots and cake and some of his salad.

However on Sunday he developed an uncontrollable diarrhea. Bettie stayed with him in the afternoon and he had another episode then. Later that evening he had a third episode. Dad said he wanted to die. But he did not look in any pain; however, the diarrhea must have been burning to say the least. (there must be something going on--I have an achiness in my abdomen as well, not sure if it is related or different, but I didn't have diarrhea, but constipation).

I did not give him his Senna last night, may withhold it one more evening.

He is eating okay this morning. Maybe I will serve him some chicken noodle soup for lunch. I am keeping him home from Senior Services to make sure he is alright.

We had a nice weekend. We ate dinner at the dining hall on Saturday: Chicken, sweet potatoes and vegetables. They had strawberry shortcake for dessert. I liked it so much I fixed strawberries with biscuits on Sunday!

On Sunday we went to Church then Bettie stayed with Dad while I went jogging. Later we just sat and watched some shows on TV. I had to turn on the air conditioning.

Dad's Weekend

Dad and I went to the K&W Cafeteria on Sunday. We had to stand in line a long time but I enjoyed watching the people. Dad had turkey, dressing, rice and salad. I had the roast beef, broccoli, rice and salad.

Then we went to my house so I could clean up a bit and Dad watched some golf. Then we went home and had some leftovers from the dining hall along with a chicken egg roll that I brought over.

Jennie called on Sunday to make sure she had all the information she needed for Dad's tax return.
