YR, I'm glad your family is there to watch over your father. Cabin fever has really gotten to him. I sense he's a man that likes to stay busy and this has "slowed" him down just a bit for now. He'll have to pace himself a bit once he's up and about.
Yes, your waiting patiently has paid off richly for you and your h. You both have a lot to be thankful for this year. I'm very happy to see that he's baked up nicely and continues to improve each and every day.
I hope that you and your h have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
