NOP, I am still reading along here but I haven't been up to posting. My father is comfortable in the nursing home and we've hired a nurse's aide to watch over things during the day. It is a sad situation but we all agree that we have done the best thing for him, and rather than dwelling on the misery, my father says he is happy to be alive. It's going to be a reflective Father's Day for me.
Thank you once again for your concern. You know, for a former rogue, you have become quite a mensch.
