Just Insane!

So tonight as I sit to write my hubby has been on hold with Westjet for almost 1 1/2hours waiting to ask a question about how dad boards the plane if he has assistance with his walker and bags.  I sit across the room, feeling the maddening energy that comes from him as I too, feel that it is ridiculous that even though he has a confirmation number the "system cannot complete his request at this time."  That to me is just plain insanity.  Insanity is probably the word for the last month.  In my last post I mentioned that dad had just gotten his new hearing aides.  Well, that lasted for 4 days before he dropped one and stepped on it crushing it into a million pieces, ok, maybe not a million, but geesh, what the hell.  He almost did not tell J about it because, he was dumbfounded about what to do.  To make a long story short, I got home and looked at it, asked him if he was going to take it in, he said in a few days.  So for the next few days, there was stress upon stress because of the cost of them.  How do we do this?  I even phoned the credit card company to see if we could claim it on the card.  Few days later, I had an appointment so I booked him in.  Good thing too, that we brought all of the pieces, as they informed us that, stuff like this happens and because we had most of the pieces they would send it off for repair.  Seriously!! No one explained to him that he would not have to claim them.  Only if we didn't bring the pieces in.  So I got a short lesson in what to do in case of ....

So now on to Father's Day.  All I can say is..... Blow up!! Clear up!!  Things got put out into the open and I think a better understanding of Father and Son happened to the duo and I am glad it did.  Dad was ready to walk away but instead we all talked it out and I think a new understanding and appreciation happened for all.

Now onto this past week.  Health insurance for his trip to the coast created nothing but stress.  So the final decision was to end his trip early and come home instead of waiting for me to come out to the coast and take him to the Island to see his sister.  Stress about the fact that he would not be covered because of the use of oxygen, having COPD and the fact that he had lung cancer in the last 2 years, nevermind the cost to him, for all the other things that could happen and they could claim that it was because of his health.  Mind boggling, Insane, Crazy or as The Bachelorette quoted on her show recently, things went " Backwoods, Virgina Red Neck" around here.  Well, I am about ready to do that too.  Until next time.....BooYah!
