Balance issues and CAT scan

The last couple of weeks Dad has been having more and more balance issues. I think some of it is that he is wearing himself out, but one can never be too sure. Two weeks ago my son was over helping Dad weed his gardens and he called me saying "Papa fell and can't get up" my husband dropped everything and ran down to help him. (I'm still nursing my busted knee so me rushing is a joke)  While this was going on, I called the house to tell them that Clark was on his way and Mom had no idea what was going on. So, she went to the door to see if Dad was ok, and she falls. Poor Clark had to rescue both of them. Luckily, both of them were fine.

Dad had a doctor appointment Last Monday and he told the doc about his falls and the doctor wanted to do a CAT scan to make sure that there isn't anything major going on. Dad had the CAT scan today so we should have the results next week when he sees the doctor again. I will be sure to go to this appointment and will keep you all informed after we find out the results.

Other than this excitement, there really isn't a whole lot going on. Dad seems a lot more tired than he usually is, so it looks like this week I will be sending meals down to them so he won't have to worry about cooking. We cooked breakfast and lunch at their house yesterday and today we sent down roast beef.

Please say a prayer for a dear, close friend of ours whose mother is in the hospital at this moment. xoxoxo

Until next time,

Tammy
