MONKEY MUSINGS DAILY OPEN DISCUSSION #35 4/15/09 - 4/20/09

[always 1]

I got a problem that I need some Monkey help with. Just got off the phone with my sister and she was telling me about an issue with my father.

My father and his girlfriend went over my sister's house for Easter and she was telling her that she is afraid to drive anywhere with my Dad anymore. My Dad is 80 and has a few drinks in the evening, then drives. Apparently he's not using his oxygen tank as much as he told us either, he takes it off early and tools around town without it. This too depletes the much needed oxygen to the brain.

I have no idea on how to approach this with him. He was a terrible driver to begin with, honestly I don't know how he still has a license to drive!!! I'm so afraid that I'm going to get a phone call from the police department telling me, he's in jail for drunk driving, he killed someone or he killed himself!!! BTW, I am the black sheep in the family so I have to think of a "round about" way to get this message across. Hopefully I will get some good monkey ideas!! My tactic is to give him a good slap in the face and tell him I'm calling the cops on him, but I hear that doesn't go over well with the elderly.   

Has he had his eyes checked recently?  An eye doctor must report it if his eyesight is not good enough to drive.  His license will automatically be taken away.

Yeah, he's pretty good at getting all his check ups. Problem is is that he doesn't follow through with any recommended options for him. He's loosing his hearing, got a hearing aide, then decided he hated it and stopped wearing it. I think the doctors don't report things like they should. Honestly, it's for the safety of all. I know this will be a great inconvenience for him, but i don't want to see him hurt or him hurt someone else!

Boo dont do like I did.  I kept waiting and waiting for something when my Mom was falling and not eating right and not taking care of herself.  Until one day, she didnt answer the phone, I drove in panic to her house.  I called to her.  I heard her say - back here.  I opened the door and found her laying in the floor, she had been there all nite.  I couldnt get her up, I called the fire department.  They came in and looked at my Mom and the house and told me to come out on the porch.  I went with them.  The fireman said "I cannot leave her in there like that"  I called an ambulance and told the doc what was going on and that I was the only seeing person in the family.  They put her in a nursing home on 24 hour care.  Bless them, because I could have never made that decision.  Now my Mom is very happy with her new freinds and home.

Oh, Oh, OH 

I am the best Aunt!!  I have refrences too!!  Auntie Mytime - sounds good, don't you think.

PS I still like Steele Riley!! 

But from your list, I like Benjamen the best!

I hereby dub thee Auntie Mytime!

I never gave him the Steele Riley option, and he said it sounded like a very bad male porn name.    I did not ask him how he would know, just gave him the evil eye. 

 

I like Bejamen, Nicholas or Anthony - none one shortened!! 

Oh, MYTIME, I have read musing for a long time before I joined. Do you have a fan club. If so, I would join. I love all of you over here, but I have laughed out loud so many times seeing MyTime in her scooter. I would have a hard time posting trying to keep up with everyone's wit and graphics. Just wanted to let you know I am a Musing fan, but especially a MYTIME fan!

Oh, how nice of you!!  That is so sweet!!  Please join in the fun here!!  Everyone is welcome!!

Thank you again!!  

Oh, good grief!

Something tells me we will never hear the end of this!   

MyTime's head will be bigger than those cookies, lol.
