Like A Grape

Pops has has some bad days the last few. He has been really swollen and has not felt well overall. Called Dr Jones and got his appointment moved up two weeks so that we can get in and see what we can do. He fell for the first time in weeks 2 nights ago, but it is mainly due to the fact that he is carrying extra water weight- not just in his legs, but all over. Main thing is trying to keep his spirits up. EE has been great with him- especially since she is the one he takes his frustrations out on when things do not go as planned. She has been patient and does her best with all caregiving needs that she can. They went by the rehab today (I wasn't there) and he got in the pool. This worked out well except for the fact that it exhausts him for hours afterwards.
He might not say or admit it, but he would really appreciate phone calls to check on him at this time...
