Great series, and I am pleased to see that your father's VA was responsive to his needs.
Thanks and I just love that VA and their people. They really helped me get my dad situated this past month. 2 chair lifts (1 inside and 1 outside), better portable oxygen tanks, setup Companion Care which sends a person to the house 3 days a week for 3 hours to help him with whatever he wants (mail, trash, grocery shopping, laundry ect.), Setup Home Base Care - which this service is AMAZING!
Home Base Care consists of a team of specialist that will come to the house instead of him having to travel to the VA. Nurse comes in 1 once month unless she feels she is needed more, Dr will visit once a year unless requested more by the nurse. Then he also has a dietician, occupational therapist, physical therapist and a program called Deprescrib - which will look at all his prescriptions and work to take him off stuff that might no longer be needed.
Was able to get him setup with a close Lung and Heart Dr via the VA as well.
It was a busy month!

A truly great set, Cindy. I have never wanted to go on a cruise. To me, it would be like staying in town except I would be floating. Too many people around for me.
It was fun but I wouldn't take another cruise. It was a large ship with about 7000 people on board (passengers + crew), we had 3 ports that we stopped at but we spent to much time on the boat. And since me and my hubby are not big drinkers or sitters - we got bored easy. There was enough entertainment on board to help keep us busy and the shows were good just not our thing.

Very nice series, Cindy. You were a blessing to your dad to do all that for him. By the way, my wife is from Butler, Pa. Thanks for sharing your vacation.

A really nice set Cindy. My wife and I go on a lot of cruises and we have been to the same area you went to. We have another one coming up soon that I can't wait to go on. I like the second sunset the best..

Great set Cindy. There's something special about sunset from a cruise ship.
If you're interested, I'm about to post the first set of many sets from a two week Med cruise, followed by a one week Rhine cruise, both on Viking.
