Re: I need your help with my dad

Mark,

Thanks for your reply. I keep trying to talk Dad into getting online, but he doesn't think he would ever do it, so he doesn't want to pay for it. I got him a laptop last year, but I need to get him a better one. When he would come to my house I would get online and show him stuff, but now since he doesn't drive, he's never here.

I did speak with Lumpy last night for a good while (sorry if I talked your ear off, Lump!) It was good to talk to someone other than my poor husband who I'm sure is as tired of all this as I am. My mother in law is in the hospital right now too. She's 82 and all her systems are starting to fail now. It's so hard to watch people you love get old, isn't it? It all seems so unfair.

I spent 7 hours with Dad today at the VA and at radiation. We're trying to make sure they give him service-related status for the lung cancer. Don't know if they will, but the VA booklet says it's presumed to be Agent Orange related, so we'll go with that. He's already got service-related status for his prostate cancer and diabetes due to Agent Orange. We're also trying to get funding for a vehicle for him since the VA will be sending him a power wheelchair in a few more weeks. He'll need something to transport that beast in. Dealing with the VA is such a battle.

I could sure use a vacation...

Steph
