It has been a very tough time these last few months handling my father’s illnesses and frequent movement from one facility to the next. But I’m not the only one feeling the pain.
Aside from me, my sisters have also been watching my father deteriorate from a man that was once strong and in all of our eyes…nearly invincible. I’ve always felt that. Even as you’re growing into the adolescent world and learning new things, hitting college and becoming an adult and then starting families of your own, you want to believe that nothing can hurt them. You want to honestly tell yourself that they can handle anything that comes their way. But the sad truth is that they are mortal like the rest of us and while they can endure their own pain and even ours from an emotional standpoint as we’re growing up…it’s a tough realization to recognize that they are having to do that as well as manage their own pain, which at times appears to be crippling.
My mother has had a rough go of it. In the last few months since my father has been basically bed-ridden, she has found herself trying to make sense of his conditions while also making time to see him, work, and keep herself healthy, which more often than not is an arduous task. She has been drained physically, mentally and emotionally and I am astounded at how she continues to go on each and every day.
Late last week we found out that my father fell out of his bed at the facility caring for him now. This marks the third time over the last 4 months that he has had this happen. The most recent time was his last hospital stay almost 2 weeks to the day. The kicker is that there was no incident report filed. This of course allowed the hospital to temporarily sweep it under the rug. But believe you me, we are going to make certain that they face serious repercussions for their negligence.
When all is said and done, I really do hope that he will have the will and spirit to overcome all of this constant strife. I know I’ll be around to support him as will the rest of my family. I see how tough it’s been on him and I wish for him to keep fighting.
