昨日は朝早くにオヤジの慈恵医大つきそいがあり、実家に寝泊まりする。
いつも夜中に起きてごそごそ何か食べたり、トイレに行ったりするんだが、最近はマイスリーという睡眠薬のせいか、なぜかフラフラしている。時々倒れていたりするんで、毎晩弟がついているんだが、それだと身が持たないんで、私が時々交代するっていうわけだ。
胃ガンを取ったあとは順調なんだが、この日は起きたらぶっ倒れているんでびっくり。幸い手足も暖かく、こぼれている溲瓶も流れていないことから、倒れて1秒くらいの感じで見つけたんだろう。
これが弟なら慣れていて、倒れる前に起きるそうだが・・・いやはや、びっくり栗栗、栗の助である。
呆れたことに、倒れておいて「塩野のお菓子が食べたい」とケロっとした顔で言う。
ベッドにつかせてお菓子を食べさせ、ようやく寝かせたと思ったらまたゴソゴソしている。・・・・まったく、もう！
これは寝不足になるわけだ。
幸い大事には至らず、朝飯はパクパク食べてました。あ～あ！
オヤジびっくり！
The realization that our parents are aging and the hope of fully regaining what was once a rich and vital life in every way are now turning towards ever distant beacon rather than the hope they placed upon us to have a chest full of exciting-mosaic life is rather quite unsettling and daunting to say the least. Perhaps this is ‘the circle of life’ about which ‘they’ talk so often and that we are to pass that hope they had for us to our children and the generations that are coming.
Having ‘said’ that, the daily caretaking of the ill and uncertain duration of the illness, especially for the primary caretaker, is not easy nor is it pleasant and must NOT be minimized nor go unacknowledged. My support and sympathy not only goes to オヤジさんbut to his ENTIRE immediate family members and to other close family members and friends who are affected by his recent health setback.
I thank you 満寿雄くん for sharing your latest REAL life experience involving a very personal and a family matter which most of us if not all we baby boomers are now facing. Once again we are reminded neither that WE ARE NOT ALONE nor an exception after all.
Be well and keep in touch満寿雄くん!
thanks!
Thanks Mrs. Peel’s Mom to sympathy of my dad and all my family. Dad and mam go well now.
