I guess it's about time I jumped in on this blogging bandwagon, so here I go..
Today, I'm thinking about my father. I'll be 50 years old this year, and he just turned 70 in February. I'm an only child, and am still very close to both of my parents. However, Daddy is in failing health and I can't seem to get any kind of answer (nor can he) from his Dr's as to what his prognosis is. The problem is I think he might be dying, and as his daughter, I simply want his last days on this earth to be as comfortable as possible, and I don't know quite how to go about helping him. He's starting to get easily confused and very forgetful, so I'm not sure what his drs are telling him. I've left messages for them to call me and hope to hear from them soon.
We'll see.
My Bio ~
- Deena the dog lady
- I own a luxury doggie daycare/boarding/grooming facility. I love dogs (obviously) and my family and friends. Hopefully, some of you will be adding to my blog. I hail from West Virginia, but currently reside in the beautiful, voting-challenged, state of Florida. I love the beach, sunsets, dogs (did I say that already?), good books, wine, and am falling in love with Yoga....

First of all, WELCOME TO THE BLOGWORLD!!! I've been a lazy participant of late, but I'll be sure to check here daily.
So sorry about your dad. I know how close y'all are and I know how hard this part of the journey can be. I'm saying prayers for the entire Dog Lady clan.
thanks sweetie. BTW, I'm still laughing at your SATC satire... LOVED it.
AWWWWWWWWWWW...that made me tear up. But your dad has an amazing story and he's beat a lot of things. And you're so blessed to have such a special, sweet, fun relationship with both your parents.
And when did you get into yoga?
Well, I'm still TRYING to get into it.. :)
I'm still trying to get into my yoga pants ...
Deenda, you and your DAddy and Momma will be in my prayers. Although you have had many "bonus" years with your Dad, the heart miracle man, it's got to be hard to see him decline.and not be able to help. Be strong..and when you're not---reach out to your friends for support!
Thanks everyone for your sweet comments. Well, I spoke to the Drs yesterday and am actually encouraged. Bottom line is his heart's good, but his liver and kidneys are compromised, so the physicians are trying to see what's going to work best. He has an appt next week with the main guy, so here's hoping with finger's crossed.
Deena,
word is around the office about Dad. Dennis and I are praying for you and your Mom.
