Hi @verol65
- YOUR DAD’S PROBLEMS; I’M THERE TOO -
I’m sorry for your dad by “no longer take care of himself 100%.” Well, I’m there too. Your dad has “health… complicated”. Well, I’m there too, but add mental injury cause I’m a TBI member for last 12 years ago.
- CAN I TRAVEL BY MYSELF? -
I can’t travel by myself; I can’t drive anymore; I need meds for my brain-problems; how about doctors - I need them, but not myself; how about foods of eating - not by myself. Sure I can do: clean our clothes or take our doggies on our outside wooden walls or fixing our outside bushes & small trees (8-12 ft) or lights inside our rooms.
- PROBLEMS STARTED 12 YEARS AGO -
I had/has a bicycle accident one block from our house in 2012. I was 55-56 yo. I lost 80% of my memory, understanding, pro writing, teaching, helping, take care at my city. I had to retired even I wanted but not.
Thankfully, I’m married with my beautiful wife, Karen for the last 42 years. She works at the public schools in our city. She takes care of me if everything I can’t. My age is now 68 yo. But I seek better ways than 12 years ago. For now my kids 30+ year young are married but to different states. I have brothers & Karen has her family, too.
Well, take care for you & your family,
Greg D. @greg1956
Thank you @greg1956! You sound like you're a fighter in spite of your TBI, or because of your TBI. A big hug to you and your beautiful wife Karen.
Take care!
