At this point, I've been convinced, there really isn't much. Maybe as treatment starts kicking in and the need to reach out a bit more comes into play, we'll let you know. Things that I know help:
- Emails or phone calls: if you need an email address, please ask. Calling the house is probably the best location
- Stopping by (please call first): Dad loves visitors, and it helps break up his day. However, we never know what kind of day he's going to have, so please call first and when the warden (usually Mary when in town) comes out to the porch and says its time to wrap it up, please don't get mad. He gets tired pretty easily, but really does like seeing a fresh face.
- Good book to read: with five days in the hospital coming up, and quite a bit of down time at the house during treatment, he's going to need an escape. "Oprah" and "Bold and the Beautiful" only take up 90 minutes (even less on TiVo). :)
As time goes on, I will let those of you that have asked more specifically what they can do as the needs arise.
Again - thank you all for your communications, thoughts, prayers, and genuine caring for Dad!
Mary
