@denisestlouie Thank you for returning with an update. I'm been thinking of you and wondering how you are doing. I can imagine the stress and worry associated with your dad's recent hospitalization. Did the doctors figure out what caused his illness? I know that sometimes an undiagnosed infection can cause cognitive changes and delusions in older adults. When the infection, such as a urinary tract infection, is diagnosed and treated with antibiotics then the cognitive changes clear up too.

You are so right that just because we are dealing with our own lives and illnesses does not mean that the lives of our loved ones do not change also.

Your insight into your own anger and how the anger expresses itself in your life is significant. Trying to figure out the emotions that exist underneath that anger is also significant and it sounds like you are doing just that. Cancer is horrible and yet it also causes us to look at our earthly existence and our relationships in a new and different way. I can say that over time cancer did that for me too.

I'm hoping for a good outcome for your dad. Will you let me know how he progresses in rehab?
