What a day. My nieces 21st birthday is the 22nd so we went to her BBQ aprty on the 19th. From lunchtime til 8pm. It ended with a few fireworks she had got.
My ex-SIL was there with her kids and grandkids and blow me down she actually decided it was time to break the fence and talk to me. I gave all her kids b'day presents last year even though she had decided no tto talk with us but I am not doing it this year. No presents.
At one stage one of the guests threw up in the toilet and hit the fllor, walls and back of the door. Even though she had cleaned the worst of it you could still smell it and see the remnants so I ended up washing it all down for my sister so she could enjoy the BBQ with her daughter.
My dad is set out to make life difficult. he just got out of hospital where he had been for nearly 3weeks with a badly infected almost gangrenous diabetic ulcer on his leg. He ahd originally been told he would be allwoed for 3 hrs to the BBQ so long as he sat the whole time with his leg resting up and NO standng around talking with a beer in hand.
Move forward to the night before and his Dr says he can go home the Saturday morning.. still rest etc...
So we get to my sisters house for the BBQ and he had already had 2 sweet drinks although he swears he only had one... memory loss is quite bad in his case... then procedded to stand around talking to people and when told he was supposed to be sitting he remarked that how long should he rest for! He was no longer on clexane for anti-clotting so therefore he had to move around!! Then when I went to go get his shopping at the supermarket he darned came with me and walked around the supermarket!!!!
No wonder the nurses at the hospital reckon he'll be readmitted within a week coz he just WILL NOT LISTEN!!!
I don't want to grow old like that. My grand-dad (dad's dad) had alzheimers too and dad is in the early stages...
