Spent about 3 hours at the folks tonight. Dad was really agitated when I first got there - wandering around the house, opening and closing all the closets and doors. He did settle down and sat in his usual spot. I sat down by him and he told me he didn't want to talk to me. Mom had gone down the hall and didn't hear him. He fell asleep, so mom and I worked on the puzzle. Had to re-do some of it, cuz all the pieces were out of sync. Mom blamed it on Mike. (Sorry, Mike) Checked on dad, and he had the cushions off the couch, sitting there with his pants and garments down. Yikes! Told mom she would need to take care of it - I do NOT want to see my dad naked. No way. She was really good with him, very patient. After he wandered around a little bit, he came and sat down in the family room and watched the football game. Just as the half time show was starting, David called and mom was talking to him. Dad liked Beyonce. Said she was really pretty and she could dance. He watched her dancing around and then asked, "Does she wear pants?" Told him not very often, and considering he had his pants off about 15 minutes earlier, I was laughing pretty hard. Wanted to give mom all the time to talk to David, so I took off. Kissed dad's head and told him I loved him. He smiled just a little, and turned to watch our girl dance around without any pants.
****Both mom and dad were really tired, since the last 2 nights haven't been the best. Dad's Parkinson's was really showing tonight - shaking a lot. Mom said she couldn't understand why he was shaking so much. Reminded her that the dr said the more tired dad is, the more tremors we would see. Oh yes, she remembers now. Hope they can both get some sleep tonight.
well.....hmmmm.......o dear
ReplyDeleteYeah. The pants seem to be coming off on a daily basis now.
ReplyDeleteDon't even know what to say anymore, except shake my head and know fer sure that the time has come to do what must be done.
ReplyDeleteGood that the dancin' girl stimulated some brain waves, hope it does not get him in a groping mood on the wrong people. I talked to Shirl last night for a while...She sounded tired and was working on the puzzle, Pop was dozin' on the couch. She brought up herself that He has moved up on the list and She is waiting for the call. She definately knows the time has come. Told me She was so glad to have all her family helping with this as She could not do it alone. On to the next day.
In defense of my man, she had that puzzle all wrong! He fixed part of it. Pieces were together that didn't fit together, she kept repeating to us that she would have figured it out eventually. It was pretty funny! Also have you ever heard Chuck hicup in his sleep, so funny! My boys are still laughing about it!
