Uncle Grant called me this morning and said he had a long conversation with dad. He said he was blunt, but kind. He told him he thought it was time to go to an Assisted Living situation because he has Alzheimer's. (I'm not sure he is to the Alzheimer's stage yet, that was Grant's version) He said, your dad is in complete denial. Dad claims his memory is good. Occasionally he forgets a few things. He told Grant he only had one incident with the car and his kids took the car away. Grant said he was very angry at Grant's suggestion and using profanity. Grant told him he is welcome to come to Texas for a visit, but not to stay permanently.
Dad had a good day yesterday with Dennis. I don't know how it's been with Todd and Sheryl this week. I wish we could figure out the best way to help him feel happy AND be safe! Dad's lonely, but doesn't want to be around a lot of people.
Dr. Lym, last we spoke, said he most likely has a bleeding ulcer, not cancer, if he is taking Excedrin everyday.
