Thank you both for the kind words. My brother and I work as a team, I don't know what I would do without him. As for the house the living room and
bedrooms are in really good shape, the bathroom needs some remodeling and the kitchen also. I love the cabinets in the kitchen they are so study, I
think whoever would buy it would repaint them. We had to sell furniture, hire a "junk" man to clear out a lot of stuff, my brother, sons and I took out
the carpeting to show the hardwood floors etc. This would kill my Dad to know we have already spent all his savings on his care and now having to sell
his home in Rotterdam and Florida. He always wanted me to have his home in Rotterdam to get out of the area I'm in, but we have him in one of the
best places we could find and its been almost a year and he now accepts it as his home.
He still remembers me and my brother, but over the past month there were two times he didn't recongnize me right away and my heart broke. I am
trying to adjust to the "new" Dad, the dad who has upped his rank in the military twice over the past six months, he is now a LTC, instead of a major,
he actually was a master sergeant for many years.
A year ago he was extremtly paranoid and always yelling at us, and now he is so different, I'm glad much of the anger is gone, but the quietness is
unsettling.
His kidney function is up and down, he's been in the ER a lot. and his second to last stay at Ellis was a NIGHTMARE, after the holidays I will be
writing a letter to the editor.
He is a lifetime member of the American legion, I contacted the NYS legion in Albany and they send him mail with calendars, pens etc and he carries
them in his pockets all the time.
His youngest sister died two years ago of alzheimers at the age of 67, Dad diagnosed over a year ago and now his other younger sister has it. My uncle messaged me that we have to get them together soon before they forget each other.
