yesterday doc told my dad he could eat anything he wants in moderation. we both feel less depressed with this news. it is hard being the daughter who has to act like a parent. we can have coffee for breakfast now and not the decaf stuff.

still no bath/shower since xmas eve. dad only wants a bath once a month, and i have a health club. steady progress every day but i got both eyes infected from drywall dust, so i am moving slow on that front. both eyelids swoll up and skin had the texture of sandpaper, now less swollen and scabbed over. working overhead has flared my two hurt shoulders. but today i have a better attitude and that is key.

all you drill sergeants keep your chin up out there.
