Mike, we have a home health aide that comes over everyday full time. Thats a huge help. She does get out alot. but she puts a lot of unnecessary burden on herself. One of the things too, is that my brother died of cancer 3 yrs ago, so she is very angry and pissed off at the world. I understand her grief, but it shouldnt be directed at my dad who has little control over his mind anymore.
He even admits it that half the time he has no clue whats goin on around him. I laugh and tell him "you know, sometimes your better off not knowing". that always cracks him up!
Ryan, she goes to counseling and support groups, but to tell you the truth . I think they do more harm than good. He's been losing his mind since his stroke yrs back, so this isnt something that just popped up on us.
