I want to thak all of you..
Dad came home Friday afternoon...
He's pretty weak, but he can at least get around the house..
He fell less than an hour after getting home..
don't know what he was trying to do but he got up and fell on Mom's chair.. knocked it over..
he fell off the commode chair today (went over backwards)..
he's fallen at least three times that Mom has admitted to..
I went to Lowe's today and ordered a handicapped toilet, a grab rail and a grab bar...
then I got the bright idea that Mom veto'd... my house we bought last October has a formal parlor, with a pocket door to the living room.. and also goes to the laundry room where there is a toilet and a shower stall..
he/they could stay there... eat with us... the only problem would be the three steps out of any door to grade level...
Mom told me to f*** right the h*** off... she said Dad would never go for it..
we thought about a nursing home; That would kill him in a week..
I could trade houses with them for a while.. we're only a mile and a half apart...
