my dad had hip-replacement surgery on monday 7/25. he has to have 24-hr care for 6 weeks so he has moved in and i am the 24-hr care. :) this is a blessing to me as i've always told all our parents that they may not live in a home as long as i am around - i will take care of them. well this is my trial run. what does this really mean for me?
so far, having him here is good. slightly less "away" time than when i was running to the hospital every day for the first 9 days. we still have doctors appointments to do and most of them are a 30-40 minute drive because they're on the other side of his home from here. but scott has been fabulous taking care of the children while i run dad around, so it's working.
VBS & 24-hr care do not necessarily work together, but God is gracious with me and it's all working out!
praise God i have a dad who is so healthy at 71, able to get through this surgery and do the physical therapy needed to recover!
