Changed his appointment time

My dads RA doctors office called me a little bit ago, he had an appointment tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. but moving his appointment back a little to 9:30 a.m. because of the bad weather we are expecting.  He isn’t happy.  What can I do?  I explained to him that the doctor doesn’t live locally she has to travel so she is just planning ahead and being safe and thinking of her patients too.  They even had a few cancellations as well.  Of course I had to laugh when the nurse said she didn’t want him out on the roads before the plow trucks.  Its obvious they don’t realize who they are dealing with, he is out before the plow trucks anyhow, I mean who do you think moves the snow for them!  LOL

I been trying to talk some sense into my dad but I am no getting anywhere.  As you know he donated his body to science but there are stipulations and he needs to have a plan B.   Say for example he was to die during surgery, they would not take his body.  He has be within so many miles of the facility and within certain hours so they can preserve the body.  If they don’t need donations at that particular time they won’t accept it either.  So we need a plan B for the funeral cost and burial expenses here.  My dad just expects us to take care of that, and I think that is totally unfair of him to expect!

Do you or have you watched the show George Lopez?  Where Angie’s mom passed away and they decided to give their plots to her parents and take care of each other at the time it happens, and Angie says to George, “your gonna dump off on the city aren’t you?”  Cracks me up.  Can people seriously do that?  I couldn’t imagine that.  But it gives you a laugh or a little humor when it comes to this topic.  I wonder since dad watches this show so much, does he think that is all we have to do?

All he have to do is just take a little out of that gas budget of his (fuel for his car) and say not drive 1000 miles a week.  Yes folks you read that correctly, he is putting 1000 miles a week on his car, I have been keeping track since I get to use the car on Monday’s to go to IGA around the corner for a quick run for meat, milk and bread for the week.  If he can afford that, he can afford to prepare for later on, just my opinion anyway!
