When we built this house 5 years ago we put in a suite for my dad should he want to live with us. We really planned out a very nice area, 1000 sq. ft of room, living room, hall, bedroom, bath, kitchenette. Direct TV hookup. What more could anyone want. Well, Dad wasn't ready to move in so Gerry and I have had a very comfortable and happy private life. That is till Friday. A week ago Dad was taken to the hospital for a combination of ailments that together sounded like flu symptoms. After the doctors ran tests for 4 days they proclaimed him clear to go home. They could not find anything wrong other then the typical aches, pains and complaints of a man almost 90 years old. The doctors didn't want him to return to his home so an ambulet delivered dad to our door. Whether he wants to be here or not...he is here.
Now the world is turned upside down for all three of us. One thing Dad likes about being here is the food I am cooking for him. I'm hoping after a few weeks he will find other things he likes about the place. :)
So please keep us in your prayers that this all works out without any blood being spilled. Hopefull I will find some funny things to write about in the coming days. Wanna hear about the clogged toilet? ;)
Dee....a reluctant nurse. :)
