Thanks, Kat. It's just always in the back of your mind when you're a disabled parent. It was also TCG's first thought. People are very judgementsl about adaptions I have to make as a parent. It's not uncommon for ltc to get pitying looks for having me as a parent.

Hearing about Anthony Bourdain has really thrown me, too.

Sorry to say the Bourdain news doesn't surprise me a bit.
Suzi, what you described struck me as maybe a warning sign of something going wrong with your dad's executive function too. But you'd be the best judge of whether it could be that or just his personality at work—people do get more curmudgeonly as they age, after all.

I am seeing so much pain about Anthony Bourdain this morning. I do have some good news to share - my coworker's 6 year old is home from the hopsital and it turns out this was NOT a recurrance of his cancer. He had a lesion removed, but it is a benign tumor unrelated to his previous cancer.

Yes, that is good news.
In the sharing of good news category I got the first test result back and my echo shows a perfectly normal heart with all the various measurements where they should be. This means I have zero excuses and have to go to my noon Orange Theory class.
