My father is doing better. He got his feeding tube in without a problem, and at first the doctor told him no solid food whatsoever. Well, I'm sure my father had something to say about it, and so when I went to see him the other day, I sat with him at dinner and he ate some meatballs with sauce. He just has to be very.... slow and chew it beyond chewed. But I'm sure that's giving him a different sort of nutrition than just liquid Glucerna or whatever premixed stuff they give him. As well, though not by much, I believe it will lessen the atrophy of his throat muscles. Also, the way the weather has been here, I"m thinking since he can go outside and sit, which he loves, that's keeping his spirits up.
Saw my oldest son when I went back to see dad. Made him get a haircut and shave before going to see his grandpa. The last time he went to see him, my dad said he could hardly stand it, the way he smelled. I guess he's planning on moving in with this other friend of his - and that's at least better than where he's staying now where he's being used as a babysitter and chauffer. Of course, given the parents, ha, those kids are probably loving having my son there for some positive interaction.
On my end, I am crossing my fingers and sometimes even my toes because I have a potentially very good job lined up. I've been on my 3rd interview and they said they're going to start letting people know later this week. It's only 2 miles from my house, great pay, great benefits.... so yeah, here's hoping.
