Busy Day For Dad

Today was a busy day. I woke up and had a quick breakfast with Dad. Then we went over to my house to make cupcakes for my work luncheon. I then took Dad to Senior Services for the day.

After my luncheon Suzie came over to my house and she helped me make some Irish Cream fudge. I went to work. Then I picked up Dad and had a nice dinner, Shrimp and pasta, bbq chicken, potatoes and carrots and fruit. Suzie came over and I went back to work.

I will pick up Dad's car tomorrow. It had to have freon put in it, and the clutch and brakes needed some work as well. I will try to incorporate a jog in it. (It is a couple of miles down the road from Dad's house).

Dad's Weekend

Dad had a fairly quiet weekend. Dad woke up ahead of me on Saturday morning and was sitting in the chair when I got up about 7:30 am. While I was at exercise class on Saturday, Bettie showed Dad the photos online from the Birthday Party. Dad enjoyed them and didn't want to leave the computer area for a long time.

Sunday I fixed pizza for supper along with a salad. We also had some cake and ice cream.
Dad didn't want to go to bed, so he spent much of the night in the chair. He got up about 5 am and I helped him to the bed.

Today Dad followed along with the yoga DVD, sitting in his chair.

Dad in Florida

Dad had a great time in Florida. The plane ride went smoothly. Dad was taken at the curb in the wheelchair inside. The luggage was also taken at the curb, so I just had to push him to the security with very little wait. I was able to get first class tickets at the last minute, so it was nice to sit in wide leather seats!

Jennie met us at the airport and drove us to a nice dinner with lots of cousins. Dad sat down next to Jennie and they started arguing! But they did not seem to know what each was talking about! We had a nice lamb dinner. Later we visited Jennie's suite: living room and small bedroom and bath. Also a small kitchenette with mini-fridge.

The next day Chip watched Dad as Jennie, Kenny and I went to visit her old friend Kris' parents who live conveniently near by.

Linda had planned a whole day of activities starting with a brunch, complete with roast beef and banana pancakes, etc. Then the afternoon we had the party with a Mardi Gras theme. We saw a slide show, Jennie and Anice blew out the candles. Dad and Jennie enjoyed chatting again.

Well, we had to leave on Monday. Jennie drove us over to visit Aunt Jennie one more time.

At the airport Dad announced he was Charles Dancy USN retired at the security checkpoint. So I guess he knew what was going on.

Jason picked us up at the airport. We drove back to his home and had some take-out pizza. Ashley got upset because they think the kids next door are throwing rocks at their cats. And Ashley wanted Jason to run over and confront the neighbors, but he was reluctant. Anyway, I decided that was a good time to leave (it was about nightfall as well).

We got home about 8 p.m. and watched TV for a while. Dad went to bed about 11 (we both had fallen asleep in the living room).

He didn't wake up until 9:30 am! Ilene came by about 10 am and later the nurse Renee visited for Dad's monthly B-12 shot.

Dad had an active weekend

Dad had an active weekend (After an active week-Ilene asked if his medication had been changed). We spend Saturday afternoon at my house. Dad watched some golf. Then we went back to his house for a chicken enchilada and snapper meal. We watched an Iwo Jima movie about the men who raised the flag.

Sunday Bettie watched Dad. I told him I would be back at 9 p.m.-he was wide awake (Sometimes he is asleep when I get back at that time) . Bettie said he was very active walking around, getting cheese out of the refrigerator, etc. Dad started talking a lot, asking all kinds of questions--He kept asking how much the electric bill was. He actually got up and turned off the lamp in the living room, as well as the light over the dining room table.

On Monday Dad had gotten up in the middle of the night and left the toilet seat up. He was sitting at the end of the bed watching TV. (Usually he stays in bed until I get him up). He seemed more alert than he has been recently. Plus he was getting around a lot without his cane.

When we got to the podiatrist he told the assistant that his wife had died. He seemed to think it was just a few days ago though. We talked about the upcoming trip to Florida. I hope he enjoys seeing Jennie and Anice and my cousins.
