That is great that you cook for your dad :D

My mother was a good cook but she may have overcooked liver :p

We had a kitchen table that sat at least twelve on a regular basis and during spring cleaning, chunks of old dried up leathery liver could always be found on the supports under the table.
:eek:
Between the cooking, the cleaning, the help bathing and going to the bathroom, the errands I have to run, the yard work to do...all in addition to keep current in my studies at school and keep my career certifications up to date, cooking feels more like a burden than a blessing. It hurts me to say that, but it's how I feel. I'm a loner, and having someone rely on me 24/7 for everything is a very uncomfortable position for me to be in. I wish my parents would have had other kids so there would be siblings to share the burden, but I know my parents resented having me enough that they didn't want to have more. This is just my situation and what I must face each day.

That does sound like quite a burden on you. Do you mind me asking what you are studying at school? And what your career is? I don't mean to be nosy, but now that you mention it, I am curious :D

By career, I am an Occupational Safety and Health Specialist. I have to keep current on how to operate certain monitoring instruments for air quality, noise, etc. I also keep current in my certifications to inspect Asbestos Abatement areas as well as read the microscope slides for air sampling of those spaces.

By schooling, I am trying to finish up a PhD in Industrial and Agricultural Technology. I'm focusing in Mathematics and am working on a prototype (theoretical) model for storing data in a holographic format, so I am doing a lot of Fractal Geometry and reading what others have done in Fractal Geometry to see where I can jump off their work to my own.

That all sounds very complex and technical. Good luck with your studies!

We were talking about theses the other day here and I found this:

Can you have someone from Home Health come in every day to help you out? Or a visiting nurse or someone?

If you're Dad has medicare, he'd probably be eligible for some part time home nursing.
