What's Going On?

Dad has been busy. He is doing well....no return of that dementia since that one day. He didn't go to the Senior Center on Monday but instead went yesterday to make up for missing Monday due to the Holiday.
He has developed a rash of sorts. It's red splotchy and itching. I am trying to keep ahead of the itching but on DAD, nothing much works long enough to suit him. lol I had him take an Aveno bath today and although it was soothing while in the tub, later he said it didn't do much good. I told him he could lay in the tub ALL DAY. He laughed. He didn't think I could get him out of the tub by myself since he said he nearly broke his knees getting down in the tub. LOL But I did, and it went well and he even said he didn't think it was going to be that easy. Dad will ask while he is still in the tub...."How am I going to get out of here? You won't be able to do it alone."
I said, "Don't you think you should have ASKED that question BEFORE you got in the tub?" haha Oh so it goes with Dad....he needs to know the plan long before it actually happens. I say JUST DO IT!!
I told him I would call the Doctor on Monday to see if he can get a steroid shot and prescription for the itching if it's not cleared up by then.

He is reading his Sunday School quarterly right now. I saw a tiny tiny crack in his lens in his glasses this week and I had Rod drop them off to get a new lens. It was a maker flaw that they did for nothing, naturally. haha I INSIST they do it for nothing. I am cheap! So when Rod picked up Dad yesterday at the Senior Center he took Dad to the glasses office and she adjusted them again for Dad and so now he can read better. I TELL HIM OVER AND OVER. If you JUST stop playing with them and leave them as she fixes them you will be able to read. Then he argues and says it's not right. LOL Funny how he is out there reading fine now just AFTER she fixed them yesterday. He has them all screwed up by the time he messes with them and then can't see right out of them. MEN!

Oh he said something so funny this week and I have been trying to think what it was for a couple days now. I should have wrote it down. We were getting in the car to leave for the Senior Center one day and he made some comment that made me start laughing and I snickered all the way to the Center. Now you would think I could remember THAT. Maybe it will return one day when I least expect it and then I will write it down.

I want to make a trip to JCPenneys today when Rod gets home from work. He never refuses overtime! They are having a sale on mens' long shorts and Dad needs a few. He said he would rather wear the long shorts that go below the knee. I never saw men's shorts BELOW the knee unless you wear them past your butt at the top. haha I explained that LOOK to him and asked him if that was his intentions and he laughed with a big hearty NO!

On to the weekend!!
Oh and I have just added the photos from Memorial Day to Picasa and they should show up on the blog soon.
