Wine Arrival

We are doing a Twitter tasting on November 7th and the wines arrived today. No update on my dad, he’s still in the hospital.

My father is undergoing a series of tests to figure out what is wrong with him and what medications will need to be administered. He’s still in the hospital.

I walked a total of 2.48 miles today.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! We decided to go out to dinner and my husband decided to wear his costume from the party. After dinner we walked around the neighborhood looking at the Halloween decorations.

My father had an EKG this morning and is having some heart and breathing troubles. He’s still in the hospital.

Using the exercise app I walked 1.56 miles outside today.

Haunted House

I took another walk outside today and found some houses decorated for Halloween. Here’s one I liked.

In unrelated news, my father was taken to the hospital for breathing issues. He lives in an assisted living facility in Charlottesville. I’m sure I’ll get more information from my sister as things change.

Using the exercise app I walked 1.47 miles.

One More Day With Dad

I spent most of the morning with my dad. His female friend came to visit while I was there. She’s as concerned about him as I am. She’s a nice lady but I think she’s looking for someone to take care of. She’s much younger and is in independent care. I’m glad they have become friends. My dad likes to talk with him. They used to meet in the dining room but my dad doesn’t go there much anymore. He takes his meals in his room so she comes to visit him there. Here they are having breakfast together.

I walked a total of 2.70 miles today.

Visiting Dad

Today I drove to Charlottesville to visit my dad. He’s not doing so well. He is starting to have memory issues. He forgets where he is, is often confused about things and can’t remember what he did 10 mins ago. I spent the day with him and he didn’t leave his chair. I had to call the nurses to help him get up to go to the bathroom. I think he needs a full medical exam and find out exactly what is wrong with him. But my sister is in charge and she schedules all those things. He does have an appointment at the end of the month so maybe we’ll find out more. I don’t know. He needs more care and will probably have to move to a different level of care in the near future. I hope he does.

I walked a total of 2.50 miles today.
