A lot going on

 My dad’s shingles are cleared up. He has bells palsy, which numbs the pain in his jaw. So he doesn't think that he needs surgery to remove his 8 pieces of teeth. But Bob is still taking him to get that done tomorrow morning. And in a couple of months, after everything else is healed, he's having surgery to remove the large polyp in his colon. 

It's a daily task to put in his hearing aids in the morning and take them out at night. This week I've been putting ineye drops and putting on an eye patch to protect his left eye, that he can't close because of the bells palsy. We just keep telling him each day that he needs to wear his hearing aids in order to hear us better. 

I just want this all to be over with and for my dad to fell better. I know that it’s my job to take care of him and everything daily as it comes up. I just get overwhelmed by multiple things happening all at once or in a row. 

It’s just a lot to take in and to do and it’s just overwhelming.
