Taking care of my Father....?!?!?

So, my Dad was released from the hospital yesterday with his thumb in tact and lots of pain. Being the good daughter, I decided to keep my poor lonely Father company. So, as soon as we got home I left to see my Brother's new house, visit with my sister-in-law, stop at a friends, run to Target to pick up some muscle shirts and a thermometer for my Dad (he can only get on muscle shirts with such a huge cast), and I went grocery shopping for my Mom. After several hours, I went back home and sat down with my Dad . My Dad promptly started dozing off while I was talking to him. Hmmmm.... so I went bareback riding out in the field with my horse, came back in and my Dad was awake. So, I chatted with my Dad and left to go shoot stuff. I then noticed it was only seven o'clock when we finished shooting stuff and stated I can't go home now! So I visited with Lori after shooting stuff. Next, I visited with Lori's son some more and figured I burned enough time, so I left and went to Holiday gas station to visit my friends who work there. Finally at 8:30 (which is much better then my usual midnight time) I arrived home and spoke with my Father who promptly fell asleep. So I tried to eat and woke my Dad up and apologized. My Dad then states it is okay, I should probably stay up later any how. So I started talking to my Dad again who falls asleep...... Hmmm... oh well. The next morning I get up and go down stairs and my Dad is awake so I start talking to him and....... he falls asleep.


The learning lesson in this story? If anyone has difficulties falling asleep, call me and we can talk on the phone until you promptly fall asleep. Either that or my Dad was faking it?????!??!
