Evening knuckle bumpers.
Same old *s-worde at work.
Called the parents this morning to check on them.
Dad is needing some help now to make some changes for mom.
Shes got Parkinson's disease, and its getting worse quicker than he anticipated.
He and I have been at odds for a bit on a few things, like getting her a lift chair to help her get up. She mostly watches tv and naps during the day now. He thinks if he gets the lift chair that she wont be able to get up on her own, and that will lead to her being bed-ridden.
I cant make him understand that the disease IS GOING TO DO THAT. Doesnt matter how much they excersize and try to keep moving. Eventually, it takes that away. Its a neuromuscular disease.
I understand his side of it. He doesnt want to lose his sidekick and best friend to this, but I dont want him to cause her a lot of undue suffering thats going to prove needless either.
Probably going to butt heads wif the old man in the next couple of days. Just want whats best for my mom.
Sorry for the TLDR.
Seems like bosslady and I are constantly helping out someone whos sick for the last 5 years or so.
She just lost her younger sister last month after a 20 year battle with Leukemia.
If you dont think thats rough, you havent been through what she's been through. That was a tough gal right there. Bless her heart.
