Keeping you in my thoughts, and prayers. It is hard to see parents get older.

My prayers will go out for your Dad to recover quickly and for you to have the patience to enjoy his visit.

If all he wants to do is sit and watch tv, I'd create a little spot for him to do just that without being right in the center of everything. He's not likely to change his ways at this age, so just giving him what he wants sounds reasonable to me.

Hey Linda!! Sorry your dad has to go through surgery. It's tough at that age. Know that I will keep him AND you in my prayers. Do you have any idea how long he'll need to recuperate? Hope for your sake it's a speedy recovery. Hope everyone is doing okay!!

"I hope the surgery goes well, and, I think what Tink said really makes a lot of sense. Go with the flow and don't fight who he is. Who knows, you might even learn to enjoy him more.

I hope your father's surgery goes well and that he recovers quickly! I'm sorry this is a difficult time for you and your family...
