1st off I need your prayers, my dad has an infection in his middle finger and it has gone to the bone. 2 days ago I took him to a Orthopedic doctor where he performed surgery on his finger, I stayed in the room with him and was by his side, he was so scared and very nervous. They had to take off his finger nail and get to the bone and scrape off the infection that was on the bone. He has to go back everyday for 1 week to have the bandage changed and the finger cleaned. He still is not out of the woods, he may lose his finger. But to top it all off he is on medication for high blood pressure and his blood pressure has been sky high. it got 198/103 was the highest.

I love my parents to death, but sometimes the decisions they make just astond me. They both smoke without care. My dad drinks beer (not since his finger problem), he chews. They just dont seem to care about their health at all. I have tried and tried to talk to them but it does no good and just ends up causing a fight and I deal with anxiety as it is, so last night I was just a wreck, I tried to tell them they have to get his blood pressure under control but they didnt seem to concerned. I ended up walking out crying and said "I hope I see you tomorrow" It just hurts me so much, I've always been a daddy's girl and I dont know what I would do or do when I lose him, I know were never ready to lose a parent, but I just dont think I could handle it. I have always been so close to both my parents, they have done so many wonderful things for me in my life. They treat my kids so well and love them dearly and would do anything and everything for them and me. But what I want most is them to be in good health so they can live long enough to watch their granddaughters marry and have children. But I dont see it happening if they continue these bad habits.

Well my question was suppose to be about life insurance, I know I hate the thought of even thinking about this, but it really needs to be done. But I have no idea who to talk to about it, the only people I can talk to about this is you guys. I just dont know what to do.

p.s. what caused his infection in his finger was him biting his nails, so I suggest to anyone who has this nasty habit, to do your best to break it.
