The Un-Isolated Un-Blurt Thread

Good visit with my dad today. Unfortunately, my sister (and her husband) are coming tomorrow. I never look forward to her visits because it's boring and she thinks she know the situation better than I do about our father. I'm only pleasant for these visits for my dad. He misses her so much that I don't want to spoil it for him.

She doesn't know much of anything except what is told to her. She doesn't know that I'M the one who's been here going through all this:

Getting him to the hospital
Cleaning out his apartment
Making sure his clothes and things are clean
Making sure he is well and is clean
That he's eating well
I bring him things he wants or needs on my visits

The list goes on. I'm glad to be here for him. No one else would do it and I haven't any problem with it. He's my dad. He took care of me for so many years, now it's my turn to take care of him.

It's so sad that I only feel contempt for my sister. She doesn't want to change so.....fuck it. Maybe I should bring my MP3 player so I'm not so incredibly bored.

I am sure your dad knows.

I know. I just wish these visits weren't so....fake I guess? How she 'seems' to pretend everything is all so normal.

I'm not explaining the situation well enough in text. It's hard to put in to words.

Unfortunately, I understand what you mean.
 
My dad is doing alright. Not much news to give these days. He's healthy enough, still putting up a fight and not taking things lying down. I got to see him on xmas which made me glad.

I have a surprise for him on the 5th, it's his 78th birthday. I can't wait to see how he reacts. :)

This nursing home my dad is in is dumb. They called my sister (not me) about my dad breaking his glasses. She lives in Massachusetts! What the hell can she do??? So, in order to get to the truth, when I visit him I'll have to see about getting him new ones. They claim Medicaid will pay for new ones but this is the first I've heard of it. Last time I asked about this nonsense they said Medicaid doesn't pay for that. What the fuck am I to believe!

I believe they pay once a year or something.
 
Not that anyone here reads my thread but.....

My dad is doing fine. I was able to get him new glasses for free because they were still under warranty. He's doing alright considering. He's slowly getting worse. He's giving the Grim Reaper two middle fingers everyday. :D
