Dad

He had bloodwork done today and the nurse asked Dad about depression and I guess he nearly snapped her head off. He has been depressed. I've seen it.

Mom pointed out that Dad has never been idle for this long and it's true. Mom and me can sit and read for hours and Dad reads and article and then he has to move. He's a photographer and while he's retired from the railroad he still does his pictures. He's went to Alaska last year and he's got friends in Montana who own a wildlife photography place and he's taken pictures of Tigers and Wolves that were only a few feet from him.

He has always been on the move and because he doesn't have the energy he's been sitting a lot and it along with the pain he's been depressed. I've seen it, so has mom. He's been cutting back on his pain relievers, I'm hoping that it means the treatment is working.

I've had a migrane all day long... I could really do without that.
