After three weeks, things feel like they are somewhat back to normal... my dad had gone from the Emergancy room to a hospital stay to an assisted living center and now home. We had to rip out the carpet and reset two rooms in the house and streamlined things to the point that both my parents will have an easier time getting around and being healthy...
Now if I could get my back to finally settle down, I'd be a happy camper... need to find a good massage therapist... heh...
