Dad had his massage this morning. Only now he cannot turn over on his stomach, as he has difficulty breathing, so he does the whole hour massage while laying on his back. It's not as enjoyable as a full body massage, but it's what he can handle.
My stepmom and I talked last night about the compounding issues as of late:
- To vent or not to vent
- Choosing a hospice
- Needing respite on the weekends
- My dad being stubborn
- Not leaving my dad alone
- Augmentative communication devices
It can be a stressful time, especially around the holidays. But, we're trying to give each other respite when necessary. Dad has important life changing decisions to make as well.
