Father In Law

So. Freaking. Tired.

My father in law has been sick. Pretty sure I’ve mentioned that in an earlier entry. He’s pretty much bed ridden so I guess he’s bored and thinking of every ridiculous thing he can. At 3:30 this morning he decided that his bed is “too high” and he’s gonna go downstairs to sleep. Oh, really? According to him, it’s “been too high for years, but didn’t have the heart to say anything”. Smh. So 3:30 in the morning when Husband is on his way to work was the best time. He can barely walk, because he’s so weak, bc he barely eats. We, well I, have to get up now every two and a half hours to go up and bring him fresh ice water. He sleeps a couple hours during the day then is up all night. If the water isn’t cold enough he won’t drink it. His version of drinking is baby sips or holding the water in his mouth then spitting it out. We ordered him an ice machine, but he thinks people are coming in to install it in his room with pipes and stuff. He won’t understand that’s not the case until he sees it. The exhaustion is real. My mother is law also has a hard time walking up and down the stairs, so she can’t be carrying stuff up and down. Husband and I need a break, but we also can’t leave the house for a long period of time. I have to look into an occasional home health aide for the weekends we have investigations. So much to do, so little time.
