The "Good Daughter"
11:41 p.m. - November 12, 2006
Okay where do I turn in my "Good Daughter" badge? Or can I least put it away for a little while. Just when I think we're finally over the hump dad says he hasn't been sleeping and that his weight is up again. That can only mean he's retaining fluids again....which means another sleepless night for me cause I'll be up at every sound he makes. Sure I'll call his doctors in the morning, but it still does't make sleeping any easier tonight. You all know I love my parents, but I get so tired of taking care of them sometimes. I just want to be able to go away for a weekend and not have to worry about how they're doing. When I am away I usually call at least once if not twice a day just to check up on dad. If he's not home I worry that something happened to him. I know I shouldn't, but I do. Mom's well taken care of at the nursing home, but I still check on her sugar levels no matter what. It just seems like a never ending race.
