The "Thing"

I saw Dad today. He was doing ok. Still confused. It is just heartbreaking sometimes. We were trying to watch the debates, and he would latch on to a word and it would set him off. When they asked the question about new energy and whether or not they should put all the money into a "Manhattan Project" like they did for the bomb, my Dad said "oh good...Now they are talking about the bomb!" It is sometimes hard to take that just a few short months ago, things were so different.

I did try and encourage him to keep on the PT girl and tell her that he wanted to work harder and longer and wanted to get stronger. He said he told her this today, and she said "just keep telling us that each time..." Um...What does that mean? It could mean a couple of things...It could mean that Dad has no idea what he is talking about...It could mean that he does know what he is talking about, and she did say that, but she said it to measure his level of determination (and if that is the case, she does not know my Dad)...Or she said it and is just that cold. I am going to wait until my friend Debbie meets with her this week and see what happens. Let's hope for the best.:)

Much love...
