my father
#76
My Dad seemed more alert yesterday. Surprisingly so. He even tried to get up out of his wheelchair a few times. He still doesn't swallow solids, even the mushy stuff he is restricted to, but does drink a little. He's lost over two dozen pounds. My mom got taken in by a phone scam. They claimed to be medicare and got her banking number. She thought it over just after, and then was told by an aid at her hearing aid appt. immediately that medicare never calls anyone (it's government - the govt, never calls). She changed all her numbers and so far, it doesn't seem like any damage was done. Damn vultures. The phone scammers had access to a lot of info, probably had access to the medical records somehow. That's crazy, right? Anyway, mom is more upset about herself falling for this than anything. It has been a scapegoat receptacle of her frustrations. Tara has been quiet about the whole matter. She had a big cry with Stacy last week when I was at my mom's, which she blamed somewhat on her grandpa's situation, but she's had so much going on in her life lately - to be an incoming freshman at a new school - they make Disney movies about those trials. Stacy has been great supporting me. Honestly I don't know what I would do without her. She sees the pressure I'm under and knows how to back me up. As for me, well, it's been a trial for sure. It's really hard to do my job - to focus on writing and the swirling details and deadlines - but it's getting done.

ON a side note, Friday the 13th went really sour. I've just started training with a new monk, and it's been him and me at class because he's just getting started. That's been great - as ass kicker - but great. Anyway, towards the end of the lesson, while I was catching my breath, he was showing me this spear set. He wasn't going full out at all, quite the opposite, when the spear shaft caught him in the mouth and chipped his tooth. I ran over to the Vedic temple next door and borrowed some milk (milk is always used in Indian ritual). Keeping a tooth in milk helps keep it alive but it was somewhat in vain. He went to the dentist but can't afford the fix. I really felt badly for him. He has terrible luck sometimes.
