I am still waiting on my father's blood test and new CAT scan. I am going on the assumption if he has cancer or not he is not going to be around much longer. He is almost 88 and has had both heart attacks and strokes. I will continue to try to go out at least once a week. My major problem now is trying to deal with old family issues. After Thanksgiving, I was ready not to visit my sister for a while. I felt like I was a person she did not care about. Anyway she and her husband are leaving on Monday. I am glad my life will become more normal. Outside of visiting my father more my life should be normal again.

Oh, dear leacon, I know what you mean ~ my married and only brother, whom I care about deeply, has no interest in me, and my father is 86, so that I must assume he will not be around long. I will say that in 1982 he had severe orofacial cancer, had to have an eye removed, but thereafter remained in excellent remission. I hope that that gives you some consolation. I know what is it to lose a parent since my mother passed in 2002. It is indeed a sorrowful and painful and even very strange experience, but someone said the following about their own mother's death, which was of great help to me: "I just think about her as still being around someplace." It is my personal belief that the essence of the individual does not die, and this is a comfort to me. I hope that you have other family or friends to rely upon. If not, try to reach out and help others. You will make good friends this way, and it will be a great help to you in the absence of close family members. Remember that you will have support and friendship at PC, whenever you need it! ~ billieJ
Thanks for this!
leacon, lonegael

I know what you mean, being around my sister is not good for me, holidays are hard for that reason...I also understand wanting your normal life back, there is sense of security with normal eveyday life.
Thinking of you and your parents and hoping for the best whatever that might be
Thanks for this!

Sounds like a rational assessment of the situation. Wishing you strength when you need it for whatever comes.
