I am back...briefly

Hi folks and fellow UHHgers.
I've been gone for a while to move from Westbrook, Maine to Lisbon, Maine into a one floor double-wide for myself...my wife and my dad.
Dad is a 95 year old Veteran of WWII and Korea. Over the past year he's been steadily declining especially since falling on his face last Christmas Day and 3 other times since. He's recently been diagnosed with Coronary Artery and Kidney Disease. My wife Betty Ann and I have been taking care of him at home where he is safe with us...and out of facilities that are loaded with the Coronavirus...so he can be with us. On August 1 he signed himself into Home Hospice Care for the duration so we can continue to take care of him. He is not in immediate danger but will progress downward from now on...especially with his shortness of breath.
I've not had too many chance to reply or see what's been going on here but last month managed to get to my Grandson Noah's Baseball Playoff Game for some pics. He turned 13 on September 1 and I'll be going to his party tomorrow while Betty Ann stays with dad. I'm a little rusty with the camera but hope you get the idea from the pic.
Meantime we carry on here as the Virus has shut down my musical performances for now...and we can't Sub at school either as we are all over 65 and high risk...especially Dad.
Hope all of you out there are safe...and stay safe...we'll get through all this together.
All for now...thanks for reading...stay safe...have fun and remember...to always be kind to everyone.
Regards and God Bless you all...

Best of luck in your new home. You are a kindred spirit, my 90y/o MIL, a survivor of The Blitz, lives with us. So best of health to you all and tell Noah to "swing away".

I had the same thing going on with a 85 year old Mom and Dad (WWII vet) a few years ago before they both passed. My sister did most of the home care but I filled in as needed to give her some space and a break. I understand what you are going through. Some times you just have to slog through.
