Welcome home, Loddy. Hope your dad is making is good progress.
Slowly, but surely, my father's making a comeback: he's walking with the help of a cane, and is looking forward to getting out of the nursing home and into some sort of assisted-living type facility in the not too distant future. He now has a "girlfriend," who, bizarrely enough, fell and broke her hip the same day as he. (Her little dog went and fetched a neighbor to call for help...she didn't have to lay out in the freezing weather for 17 hours, so her progress has been speedier.)
Parents! Do your kids a big favor: thrown stuff away as you go; forty yard roll-off dumpsters are not inexpensive to rent.
Cheers, all.
