Dad is having some great days.

Yesterday morning Dad was the closest to being as I remember him. He sounded like my old Dad. Since he has been home he has had great days. His Parkinson's symptoms, the freezing has stopped, which is wonderful. But I have noticed he is having trouble, when dressing with his balance. Thinking of what he was like before the New Year, he really is having a good spell. I think the break at my Brothers did him the world of good.

  1. Thank goodness for the good days! Remember them, hold them tight, and don't forget them.
    And sorry if this offends, but having been there myself, I literally laughed out loud at your entry about the "L" shape. We had the "L", the "W", the "S", the "T"...thank god I can laugh about it now. You are doing so well caring for your Dad. Give yourself a hug. All my best, Laine.

  2. Hello Laine (Life with Lewy),

    How are you doing? My whole family sends lots of hugs to you and your family on the recent passing of your Father.
    I read all of your posts, I think you are amazing, you fought for your Father so hard. You did such a wonderful job of caring for him.
    When I read about the nurse/admin talking over the intercom I had to go outside and have a cry and a yell. We had a family dinner last night and I told them about that cruel so and so; we are all horrified, angered and saddened by such callous behaviour.
    Your comments about the 'W,S and T', helps me to know what's ahead and kind of prepares me.

    Sending lots of best wishes.
