Taking care of yourself

Well last night I had to take my Dad to the ER for shortness of breath and he had a cough for about 5 days at that point. It turns out he has pneumonia. And they found that his blood sugar level is at 555! I’ve been watching him slowly deteriorate over the past couple years as he continued to eat unhealthy foods. Lots of sweets. It’s been difficult to tell someone you love what to do. Especially when they are stubborn. Well I’ve learned some valuable lessons from all of this. One can’t change anyone, two, what’s my diet look like? Three, no need to get resentful at them, four where can I be of service?
The blessing are all around us, even in times of difficulty.
He’s doing well today. The doctors and nurses are doing a great job! Hopefully this will wake him up to make that change!
