Saturday Unwind [dismantling Two Tents]
Oct. 12th, 2002 04:54 pmI asked my parents how they were getting home from the hospital. The choices were that I drive all the way around from Port Orchard or they get their close friends to do it. I was torn. I should be the dutiful son, and I felt a responsibility. On the other hand I'm not conveniently there. I asked them not to deffer to me and to do what they were most comfortable with. They asked again for me to do what I wanted. I insisted that they make the decision as their comfort came first and foremost, and that I would not feel slighted if they didn't ask me. ...and, yes, I was concerned and I cared and I etc.
They chose for their friends to come over and get them. That turned out for the best. They went out for lunch and talked and relaxed. I think if I were ever in that situation I would be more comfortable with my peers then I would with my parents.
Okay, conversely, if ever I'm needed over there, you folks let me know! Okay?
So my father is fine. They have him on a new med, which he's not pleased with. He had me do some net research. The side effects include possible dizziness and a possibility of not driving. They also say that's okay. My father says, no it's not. He's the only one who drives in Seattle of the two. I told him to talk with the nurse, and as lost things are found [see previous post] so are there answers.
