@babbsjoy Awesome to hear!

And, I really truly echo what @cehunt Cheryl mentioned in her post. Letting your dad know he has a part in his decisions taking meds is critical! When my dad was in a skilled nursing facility, he started balking at his nighttime medications. My sister used to bribe him with a "toddy", which he enjoyed. One evening he wanted a toddy, she said "no", and it was a standoff! I recall looking over at her, and including him in my response. ""Hey, Xxxx, put yourself in his place. What harm will a toddy do, really?" He got his toddy, got his meds. He was happy, I was relieved, my sister was p***ed off. Oh, well!
