my dad finally got some sleep last night. He looks like he feels better, and he said he feels better. Part of his problem is that he's got a lot of edema, that he has to get off of him every day. So he takes medication to make him pee to get rid of all that fluid. (sorry, TMI). While all the work has been done in our house, he was having problems getting to the bathroom in his bedroom. It's easier for him to get to the bathroom that's been getting remodeled. So, I think he was stupid, and didn't take his medication when he was supposed to be taking it. He's taken it very early in the morning the past couple of days. So, hopefully he's getting rid of it quicker. I didn't hear him coughing as much last night too. So, I think he's getting that fluid out better now.

He also has asthma, and while we were having the tile work done in the bathroom, he was coughing more. I think that's because the kid who was cutting the tile was leaving the front door open while he was cutting, and generally being a slob. (the other tile guys told me that kid couldn't cut to save his life. He wasted a ton of our tile because he couldn't cut a straight line. He kept complaining about his life, and that he was thinking of quitting. I almost told him to leave a couple of times. He quit halfway thru our tile job. Thankfully!)

I'm just glad my dad says he feels better today because he got some sleep. He's upstairs taking a nap right now, as long as my mom leaves him alone.

He looked better to me this morning. I think he needs more sleep, so I left him alone and came back downstairs to watch a movie. If I can manage to get my other computer chair into my room without falling down or getting stuck in the bedroom door because the chair is too big.
