bumps on the road

It's been a long week. A busy week. Graduation events, visiting in laws (yeah!), graduation itself, party yesterday...and my dad did well. He stayed home with the care giver the evening of graduation. We all got to go out for dinner and then to the ceremony. I made the right decision not to have my dad go with us. I had expected the event to be outside in the football stadium for 2-3 hours in the heat. I even told him about it, and he said he didn't want to go. It ended up being inside as it poured outside, making 4 inch puddles for us to wade through on the way back to the car. Definitely made the right decision on that one. He was fine at the party, even changed his clothing without cuing when he needed to do that. yeah! :) He was quite formal and cordial with the guests, rising each time to shake their hand as he was introduced. That part of my dad has NOT changed.

We went to the doctor on Friday late morning, my plans being to have all the paperwork filled out for the care center in July. I was disappointed with the outcome of the appointment, in fact, I should say I was quite frustrated because I started to cry. I hate that! Anyway, we have to go Tuesday and Thursday for blood work and a TB test, then back the next Monday for a physical and to have the Doctor fill out the stuff he needs to fill out. He is a by the book guy - a good thing- but obviously time consuming for me. I need to remember that things aren't always going to go smoothly, and I can only do what I can do when I can do it!!!!!! Bumps on the road - what a ride.
