After a 1:30 A.m.confusing text from my brother,when we got a hold of him.
My Dad is dying, I talked to my dad, he doesn't want to go to the hospital,does not want an aid car there.
He had a fall in the bathroom earlier this last week,which we were not aware of until Friday.
They live aprox. 3 days drive from us, i'e' twelve hundred miles.I cannot drive, TxCoord, cannot drive with his knee a mess and awaiting surgery. Even if we could get there dad is refusing treatment.
I spoke to my dad, tho' he is very weak, he will not allow anyone to get him any treatment.
Not sure how we'll manage getting to a funeral when that is all ready. Just beyond it right now.
Please understand,we are not aksing for funding but for prayers,to get thru this.

Silverwolfi, I am thinking about you and TXCoord
TXCoord said that the knee surgery might be postponed so that you can travel to the funeral
As others said - be gentle with yourself right now
and know that we are thinking about you both
I don't know if you can eat that, but Amy's Vegetarian Meat Loaf is my go-to meal when I need something stress-free to eat
it has a little mashed potatoes and peas and corn and the gravy is rather yummy
it is organic and Vegan and gluten-free and microwaves in 6 minutes - easy-peasy
God bless you and be with you both!

Thank you both <<<<< hopingandpraying , Harmony >>>>>,
For the tho'ts and prayers, I am sad,but grateful Dad is finally at peace,and not in pain and weary.
I'll check back in later on, the thot's and prayers,are so comforting,and I am so glad for our Lyme Family,and our Church Family too.
I don't know what I'd do if this Board wasn't here. Y'all are a huge comfort.
