put in, and it was going even better. Last Friday he had a fall, dislocated his thumb ( it was standing on the top of his hand), Grazed his knees so badly that I could no longer get it better. The hospital just pulled the thumb back in, and said we had to contact the orthopeadic surgeon to make sure the thumb was O.K., as soon as we could get a appointment. I had to take him to our doctor who had to clean the wound on the right knee up again,(he is also diabetic) and hope it will be better now too. Today I had to take his X-ray of the hand to the specialist while I left him and mom at the hospital for his ears (He is pretty deaf), and I was promptly sent back to fetch him. He now has a plaster cast which he has to wear for 3 weeks, and is not a happy chappy because of it.

Mariette, I know that there is a special band between you and your Dad. Keep it up. Will pray for all of you Love Marie.

Thank you so much Glenda. Things are slowly but surely getting better, as you can think with a 85 year old.
Thanks for the prayers.
Hugs and God bless.

Mariëtta, dear friend, I hope you are coping OK. I know a lot, if not everything, is coming down on you. I will be in Cape Town by the 22nd of March and then all our Cape Town Cuties can get together again. I think a lot about your mom and dad. Sterkte vriendin

Better, thank you Yvonne, I am still cleaning and dressing the right knee, but it is looking much better now. He is getting just a little tired of all the fuss I think. LOL
Hope to see you and the others soon.
Hugs and God bless.

God bless Marietta. Bear in mind he probably also has pain which makes him out of sorts. My prayers are with u & your mom & dad. Believe me" it ain't easy, this getting old" & having to have others do for us what we use to do for them. *

Ogh!! you know, I think I have more trouble now with my mom, because she is still very active lady, and do not want to be helped, but we are managing fine.
Thank you so much. I know I am also going to get there in the not so distant future, LOL. So we just try to be as patient as we can.
Hugs and God bless.

Yvonne, I am so sorry about Mike. There is nothing as bad as back ache. I really hope it goes better soon. Of course I will pray for him and you. You must also keep strong to help him.

Thank you so much Gerry.

It is hard to watch them age and become frail. You are very lucky to have a father that age. Just love him and you both do the best that you can. He has pride in still doing things, so that is good, you wouldn't want him to just lay down and quit. I'm praying for him to be safe and for you to trust and not worry. ;)
