as a former NECEGer (well.. old timers know what I mean), I wanted to stop in and give you my sincerest wishes for a complete recovery. It sounds like your you and your father are already very close, so keep that up, and treasure every moment you ever have together.

AMEN, well said.
My father (Progressive Supra Nuclear Palsy- similar to Parkinson's) just visited for 10 days and it was good to see him. After he left, I kind of thought that I might never see him again... I hope not.
Good luck to you and yours !

Thanks, guys.
He's doing really well- his speech is almost back to normal. Just a hint of what sounds like fatigue instead of either drunken slurring or complete exhaustion.
It looks like it was brought on by high blood pressure. His diet was miserable, and he was working FAR too many hours (works as ramp services at American Airlines at Logan) for his own good. We're talking routinely 65-70 hour weeks, some 8 hour shifts with a one- or two- hours break in between where he'd just sleep in his truck in the garage.
He's working on his diet, staying on his meds, and I'm making sure he sticks with it all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your father and family. Diet will make a world of difference. Get him to start drinking lots of water and make sure he knows how to relax when he's not working. I know I'm guilty of drinking to much soda, eating conveniance food, working to hard and carrying home the stress from my job....and it was visible in my last physical. Since then, I've started to relax more about the job, I drink way more water than any other drink, I make sandwiches and take vitamin B complex to help provide good energy and nervous system health. Sue helps me relax when I get home from work  .
