Transportation mostly solved; nutrition good recently, but still a concern.

Yesterday afternoon Dad, in despair, called me over to the house to help.  He wanted help cleaning himself and getting food and water.
I was able to help some.
Also he was able to have a breakfast drink this morning, a sandwich for lunch, and a reasonable dinner.

Today he also got a raised toilet seat that goes over the existing toilet.
Dad was also able to get up from the toilet seat unassisted after the placement of a seat riser on the toilet.
The physical therapist was there, and seemed to feel Dad would have enough strength to do his business unassisted.

His cancer doctor today thought he looked a lot better, mainly because of his body posture reflecting his less pain and more strength.  Chemotherapy is continuing Wednesday.
Dad had felt weak enough that he decided to ask the Doctor for a walker.  Doctor felt that Dad should not give in yet to getting more of that type of help, and that for now he should keep using a cane.

As part of the visit to the doctor, the hired help came along to learn where the doctor's office was, and the procedure that had been used to transport Dad.
It looks like the hired help will be a huge help for transportation.  They helped Dad down the stairs safely, and were able to drive Mom's car home without any concerns.
Dad requested, and the hired help agreed, to also try their vehicle to see if it works better for them than Mom's car.
They will cost slightly more than taxi service, be much more helpful with steps in and out, and be understanding of the situation.  Also, riding in Mom's car is much more comfortable for Dad than one of the taxis he was in one-and-a-half weeks ago.
Mom did not question today Dad getting a ride from someone else, nor that she would get a ride tomorrow to her doctor's appointment.  Now that the arrangements are being made in somewhat of a whirlwind, she does not even seem to be asking the question of why, and why does she need help driving.  Hopefully the question will not come to her mind, or be answered sufficiently in some non-threatening way.

There is still a concern of Dad getting water and nourishment.  We are still working for agreements and arrangements so hired help can work to help with that as well.  Alternatively, if Dad can gain enough strength to get himself to the refrigerator and table himself, maybe the hired help will not need to worry about that part.

So praise God for the extra help, and Dad's improvement of today anyway.
