took dad and mom out for sundaes yesterday... we had a great time and sure was yummy. learned a couple more things... dad is one lean mean peeing machine; when mom's done with her meal (or in this case, sundae)- everyone must also be done and it's time to go; neither parent can walk 30 feet without stopping- making it interesting to hold onto two people at the same time.
so guess it's time to get ahold of the doc and ask him to sign off on a disabled placard allowing us to park in handicapped parking spaces. shouldn't have a problem with that-- perhaps i shoulda done this earlier but never found it necessary.
dad was exhausted after our outing... he was fine for the first half hour then went downhill from there... he ended up going to sleep on the couch for 45 minutes, then decided it was time for bed. naturally he paid the price for such an early bedtime-- we had a storm here last night around 730pm that woke him and... he woke up again in the wee hours. i'm sure today will be catch up day but he's doing fine so far.
mom's more tired today, too. doesn't help she has both therapy appointments this morning- one done and one happening as i type. and, no breakfast in her tummy. she's handling it fine with the therapists but outside of their ears, i'm her target. good times.
have a trip to the VA with dad this afternoon- with any luck his blood levels will be back to normal. we've had two weeks to recover soooo... here's hoping!
