Worried about my father...

This is me venting!
My day started well, with my niece coming over, taking a walk, we had a nice meal, etc. But then I had to drive to get my father at the doctors office. I was not really aware that he is in danger of losing his licence, because he might not be mentally fit to drive a car anymore. Truth be told, I have seen some things he has done behind the wheel that was not good. But either way it is pretty brutal to lose his license. He just turned 75, and at 75 everyone here in N has to take some tests to see if they are fit to drive. When I picked him up after having some of the tests done, he seemed pretty down. And he told me that he felt like he had done a lousy job of answering the questions and completing some of the tasks that he had to do in the test. Tomorrow he goes back for another test. I feel really bad for him.
I tried to make things a little lighter by saying that just because he couldnt complete everything correctly, that does not mean that he has failed the test. Etc.
The situation is stressing me out. Worried. And at the same time I think it is necesary that he has these tests done, because he should not be driving if he is not a good driver anymore. My son lost his new jacket, and now I have to figure out a solution to that. and try to locate where it might be! Just feeling horrible right now, and stressed, and the missing jacked came on top of my worry about my father, so not good!
Just ate something not heathy at all, and I am trying to watch my weight and eat healthy, to take better care of myself also. ( three sugared-up raisin buns, really large, not the tiny ones).
Well, this is what an extrovert I am, must get this off my chest and just "put my business in the street", as my sis-in-law (former) used to say.
And now I am going to have a cigarette, even if I am supposed to have quit, (I am, have quit!) Sorry guys.

I'm sorry for your rough day ((hugs))

Thanks chaoticInsanity! I almost removed my post just now. It was a bit crazy.. But I am ok now though. Thats what its like sometimes. I dont know if anyone can recognize any of this?

That's a lot to take in for one day.

Thanks

I'm sorry I don't have much to say in response, but sending some s anyway.

Hopefully tomorrow is a better day!

Have had more than my share of days like that Take care.

The post was not crazy, so don't worry about that. I know how much it can help to vent and to know that someone else knows what you are going through. And also to go back and read what you wrote...Sometimes for me it helps be see things in a more distant perspective so I can deal with them better. Write out a plan for finding the jacket if you need to. Call the places he has been since the last time you knew he had it. It has to be somewhere! Take the news about your father as it comes. You can do this.

Thanks for the support everyone! it means so much. My dad did passed his test today, so he did not lose his licence. I think what stressed me out was the fact that my parents are getting older and I realize that they are not going to be around forever...
