Update on my Dad and a great WOW!

We live in the same town, so I can be there for him any time he needs.  He's only 69, but if you saw him right now you'd think he was 100.  He quit smoking about 12 years ago, but he's always eaten lots of rich foods and he's been overweight all my life.  He lost quite a bit of weight, little by little, over the past 10 years though and is down to about 200 right now.  That's not skinny, but not too bad for a 6' tall man.  My dad has NEVER exercised, except to walk from his golf ball to his golf cart. and swing his golf club. 

Sending you hugs, love and thoughts, Pam.  Hopefully this emotional roller coaster will wind down soon for all of you with your dad's full recovery.  Congrats on the size 16 coat and the new measurements.  What a milestone! 

Thanks Shauna....

Great for the coat size Pam! It sounds like your father is mending just slowly and he is having no choice but to get the rest his body needs in order to heal. Being asleep for long periods of time would be scary for those of us that are awake but his body needs it. Try not to worry so much.

It is just a roller coaster ride and we are holding on for dear life with him.   I really worry about my 76 year old mom and what the stress is doing for her.  We just take it day by day.

Thanks, Pam
