visiting the rents
Aug. 16th, 2009 09:32 pmwent and visited with the family today. dad has hurt himself again. he can only walk with a walker, and can't put weight on one foot. his back, neck and hips are all swollen and in pain as well. he had a cat scan last week (which i just found out about today) and we won't know any results till later this week. yay for even MORE new and exciting health problems. like he hasn't dealt with enough already? ugh.
tomorrow he has his third session of chemo. and sadly, he is losing his hair :( he's always had such gorgeous thick hair, so it is really hard seeing it fall out. he kept pulling it out in clumps today, which was actually pretty gross. papa, who is 86, still has a full thick head of beautiful silver hair, and we figured dad was going the same route. hopefully he can grow it back? i dunno how that works.
oh, and his face is crazy puffed up from the steroids. like really badly. it's kinda creepy.
my mom annoyed the hell out of me as i was leaving. when i gave her a hug goodbye she said "think about me." and i was like "what?" DAD is the one that is sick, but she wants to remind me to think about HER because it is so hard for HER to watch and deal with. and i know it is. i get that. but still, she always makes EVERYthing about her. EVERYTHING. and i can't stand that. i never could.
