Dad went into the hospital on tuesday Nov 22nd. He was admitted for dehydration, low blood pressure and his renal function was off. It turned out to be a side affect of one of the many medications he’s on. He was discharged on friday, the day ater Thanksgiving.
I went to see him Thanksgiving morning, we talked about many things. H e became emotional a few times. It’s been decades since i saw my Dad cry. My pillar of strength growing up, it’s hard to watch your parents age, even harder to watch their health decline. I’m sure it was bothering him more than he wanted to let on, being in the hospital and missing Thanksgiving two years in a row. Looking at the empty plac e at the table, it looks like a precursor to things to come. It makes you stop and wonder how many more holidays do we get?
Dad will be 73 on the 29th, hard to believe.
