Well, it\'s official...
My Dad's test results did come back, and he has peripheral artery disease (PAD) in his legs. He was crying this A.M., but trying not to show it.My mom is begging him to go to Mayo, back in Rochester, and have the whole thing looked at, at once, fr. "folks who know," but my Dad is being resistant & want to see what the local drs. can do...Meanwhile, my Mom is recalling all of the times my Dad was short with her and rude about helping her when she started to become ill, herself, almost 40 years ago...Lesson Learned That I Already Knew: we must all be careful how we treat others, because we may need to depend upon them for our future support....

I am sorry about your dad hun..
It can be stressful
I hope it all works out
I hope it works out, too...all I can \"see\" right now are shades of gray to black, on this...I don\'t want the events to just end, so that we can all quit hurting...I WANT them to get better...what are the odds of that, though? Your success is only going to be as good as everyone\'s outlook on the future...and, we are all trying to be \"real,\" on that...
When did being a human get so complicated and scary?
