Odus and Brandy

Dad has good days and bad days. The first two weeks were sorta rough for Dad. He wanted to sleep alot and the dementia was pretty controlling for him. I decided to make an early appt with my Dr for him to get started on some REAL pain management. Dad started that a week ago and I am seeing many improvements. I am convinced when you are in pain it leads to depression and the depression leads to not eating and the will to go on is almost at a stand still. HOWEVER...since Dad's pain is being managed better than ever, the depression is much less....he is now eating much better and his strength is getting stronger. I hope to report each week there is improvements each day. {Here is a photo of Dad with Brandi, who was his home health aide in Indiana. Gosh we MISS HER! Brandi knows her stuff and so far we have had no one like HER!}
