Im not sure how to feel this morning.... I went to take Mom to her doctors appointment....the doctor thanked me for taking care of Mom...they have her on an antidepressant for her blood pressure..shes keyed up and still struggling with Dads passing...so Im at Kroger, doing the grocery shopping for her, and I drop off the prescription at the pharmacy. I finish my grocery shopping and go to retrieve it. The pharmacist tells me she was very sorry to hear about my dads passing, that he was a kind and very funny man, and that they talked a lot while he was there. She then informs me that Dad had told her he had a month to live. My stomach dropped and I stared at her for about 10 seconds, not sure of what to say. The doctor told me and Mom that Dad was doing well, and that he was showing signs of improvement. I dont know what to believe now. If Dad was telling the truth, I know he kept this from us so we wouldnt grieve. But if he wasnt, I know there was nothing we could have done, but at least we could have been prepared for his passing. I feel as though someone pulled out the rug from under us. Ive been trying to process this all night, and all morning, feeling as though I should go and confront the doctors and nurses at his doctors office, asking them if they knew. I would appreciate any insight that you might have while this is still in my mind. And no, I didnt tell Mom. Shes been through enough.
