I visited my parents yesterday and my dad is not looking too good. His entire leg is swollen from at least his thigh to his ankle, there's lesions on that ankle and he's in pain. Apparently, that's not enough to go to the ER (or to his normal doctor). You'd think pride would take a side seat to potentially losing your leg, but I guess not. I know I can't control my dad or his behavior, but this just seems needless. Pointless suffering in the service of pride.
