Colorado

We're in Colorado, and it's snowing!! I do love it when I don't have to be out in it~ Just watching those big flakes slowing drift to the ground is so peaceful to me!
Meanwhile, my Dad is back from CA and falling all over the place! I had to try to pick him up off the garage floor this morning--Not an easy thing to do. Then he cleaned up, after I finally got him up--and went to the Elks Club--and promptly fell when he got out of the car--had to call my brother to come out there, and pick him up! He'd fallen between two cars, and had to wait at least 20 minutes for my brother to get out there--no doubt the snow on the ground didn't help~He came back with a big slash in his head==bleeding all over the place! He's just getting weaker and weaker--but determined to go off his medication, that he has to have to live! It doesn't seem to matter what we tell him---Part of the problem is his short term memory--He seems to forget how well he was doing when he was on the right dosage of medications. Then he tells everyone that he "caught" diabetes-- Which he really doesn't have, but talks his quack doctor into giving him meds for! Camille, he's never even had to do the sugar tests you did! He likes having us here in Colorado--so we can pick him up I guess ~ when he falls! He's pretty grouchy--and cusses a lot!! Not used to that from him.
I'd much rather take care of children than adults! And it's just sad to see my dad in this shape--I really feel helpless!
