Update


Sorry about my lack of posting and not finishing the marathon account. A lot of crap hit me at once. Yesterday, I had to put dad in a full fledged nursing home. Within two hours of my leaving, he had a violent episode and had to be given Ativan. Today after lunch, he had another episode. I suspect that he is going to spend the rest of his days as a drugged up zombie. I feel terrible, but I have no clue what else to do. It's all part of his Alzheimer's Disease. When things settle down, I will blog again and fill you in on all what has been happening fitness-wise. Keep my dad and my family in your prayers.

Take care of yourself and your dad. That's rough.

I know that you are a caring son, doing the best you can for him. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease with lots of manifestations. Sometimes a nursing home is the best possible solution.

My prayers are with you and your family.

It seems that I've missed a lot of events going on in your life due to my long absence from my blog.

Alzheimer's is a very hard disease to deal with. My thoughts are with both you and your father.

I am so conscious on what I eat that’s because it nourishes my body. I’ve been looking a website that can refer me ways for health living. Gladly I found one that contains what I really need about alternative health, neuro feedback, holistic healing, alternative natural healing and dynamic psychotherapy. You guys should visit http://www.createyourhealth.com/wordpress/
