The Dad Update

April 2010 I went to visit Dad in the hospital in Salmon Arm, B.C. He had a bad attack of gout and was unable to walk . After discussions with his doctors, the hospital liaison co-ordinator, his friend Irene, and community care workers, Dad had a decision to make - to stay in Salmon Arm in "assisted living" or come home with me to decide what to do next. He decided to come home with me.

I have created this blog mainly to keep my family updated, but now and then my friends may want to check in to see how life is "living with Mac!".

This blog will note how it is living with an 83 year old father. It will note the funny, the sad, and anything else in particular that may happen with "living with Mac"!

A Funny Moment

As you know, Dad can't see very well and definitely can't hear!  I just wanted to mention a funny moment last Sunday.  I was running around cleaning the house.  Dad was sitting in his chair by the window, playing solitaire, and looking out the window every once in awhile.  Dad starts to laugh, and I ask him what was so funny .... he says "I was sitting here watching a bird on the grass, and then after a few moments I realized it wasn't a bird, it was a fly on the window!!  We both had a good laugh.  Between Dad not seeing well and not hearing well, it does make for some funny moments.  I will try to post some of these "funny moments" when they happen.
