Went to see Dad today. He's a wreck. I tried to get his transfusion bumped up to today but they need the head cancer doctor there to do the transfusion and he won't be there until tomorrow. The UCSF nurse told me to take him to the ER but he refuses to go. It's too long of a wait in a loud, bright place with lots of sick people around. Not good. So, we'll stick with the 8 a.m. appointment tomorrow morning.
I talked to Becky and she's going to take the day off tomorrow to take Dad to the appointment. I think that's a great idea. He really shouldn't be left home alone right now. He's not real steady on his feet and he needs to be reminded to eat.
I brought him a latte, a sandwich and some cookies which he devoured. I gave him some pain meds before I left and then mistakenly told him I'd hidden his keys. After that, the game was on! I heard him go to the bathroom and check the toilet tank. I think I saw him checking the wrapping on the spigot next to the front door where we used to hide a key when we were in school. Too funny! He was determined to find those keys. He called me about 5 minutes after I left his house and he had already found the first set and was on his way to finding the second.
Next time I'll hide them MUCH better...
