Dad is back home. He was released yesterday and refused any physical therapy and was adamant that he could manage fine at home. He wore myself and my brother down and it is very hard to get your parent to do anything they do not want to do. At least in my case. I really love my dad but goodness that man can push buttons I didn't even know I had.
I did work this AM and then went to his house to do some things. He really likes this attention and I am now back at home trying to get some things done I haven't been able to do all week. I will say this with no shame. I shall not retire yet. I believe if I retired he would become totally dependent on me and that wouldn't be good for either of us. He caught me completely off guard when on Wed evening my brother and I were preparing to start the 2hr trip home and he said we should just stay in Columbia and he'd pay for our rooms. I turned around and said I had to get back home to see about Jacob and his answer was that my daughter could do it. WHAT? My first reaction was to respond, but nothing would come out of my mouth and my brother waved me on out of the room. I returned a few minutes later and then we did leave to come home. We discussed the comment and the offer he made and tried to make it better, but we both acknowledged that he's a bit selfish and the more we give the more he wants. That's our dad. Nothing new, just thought he understood that I love him, but also will always take care of Jacob if it's possible.
I want to thank you all so much for the prayers. I know the prayers and the antibiotics did the healing so quickly as the care was nothing to brag about this time. Wasn't impressed at all and the care was very sparse. He opted to go there thought and he seemed to like the care and that is all that matters.
It seems like I was going to write more, but you're lucky that I don't have a clue was else I would have written about tonight. Take care and God Bless and thanks again for prayers.
