I sure hope we get a good report tomorrow. He is able to use it a little but still very painful. I am sure hoping for a good X-ray. It will be one year next week.
We have stayed as positive as possible.

And then on the 26th of October my dad died. He was a healthy man. He and my mom had just made the trip to Texas as they winter there. They left on Tuesday got to Texas Wednesday night. Dad wasn't feeling well thought he had the flu Wednesday evening. Thursday still not feeling well but did do a few things like trying to get the Internet working. But then went back to bed. Friday morning he was vey weak and mom had a doctor appt. for him at 9:15. She had some friends going to help her but they said we need to take him by ambulance.
The ambulance was on its way when he collapsed and that was it.

We flew down which took way to long. Mom stayed with friends till we got there. I was able to go Saturday and say goodbye I needed that. My dad and I were very close and I can not believe he is gone. He was not big into hugs but when I helped them pack and saying my goodbyes for the winter months I gave him a hug and told him I loved him.( usually I wouldn't do this as he always says knock it off as he did this time) boy am I glad I did this. He was 78 years old way to young no known health problems. Mom is lost they were married almost 58 years. We brought her home for this winter which will be hard on her as they have not seen a winter for 13 years. She lives very close to me so I will be watching her like a hawk. She is pretty healthy thank goodness. The only comfort in this is my dad always said he wanted to go fast so guess he got that wish. Of course we all want him here with us instead .

And again my daughter came to my rescue and the pups got to stay home in their own house which is a comfort. She stayed for over a week so we could get the home in Texas shut down for this year. I have a amazing family and blessed for that.
