I'm busy finding the right path every day. I'm trying to be a good daughter, but finding my way of trying to help Dad be healthy without "bossing" him too much. Today, I'm a little ill with him. On Thursday, he became concerned about his cough. After his day in the wind on Saturday, he's very congested. His comment was "I've about coughed my eyeballs out". Others as well as I tried to get him to go inside, but he didn't take our advice. I called his doctor this morning and he's prescribed a "Z" pack, a 5 day antibiotic. He has slept most of the morning, per him. I have asked him to put a #15 sunscreen cream combined with a male moisturizer every morning when he washes up. Yesterday is the first time that he's done it. Family, I'm not going to badger him to do what's right, but I will heavily suggest. (Rick thinks I'm already doing too much for him) I am trying to find the middle ground. Right now, he's asleep and he looks like Michael Jackson! One of his fingers gets cold, so I've given him a pair of thin gloves to wear, but he's only wearing one.
He's asked for a rail in his bathroom, and I picked it up for him today. I'm not sure if Rick is going to install it or if we'll need to hire someone that can do it professionally.
We do plan on having a small garden this year. I thought that it would be helpful for Dad to have a project. I hope that I don't badger Rick too much to get the ground ready in time.
