Dad has retired from 20 years in the military, along with retiring 2 additional times from the civilian world. <br /><br />I don't understand the water thing myself. Yes, I've tried the lemon. He can't have citrus while going through chemo, he reacts to it. Please don't apologize. My dad has never been sick his entire life, he's 71 now. He's never taken any medications either. He's always been the strong healthy one until now.Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709809754356131123.post-3326157320735848072013-06-23T19:47:34.453-05:002013-06-23T19:47:34.453-05:00Looks as though your folks live in a very lovely a...Looks as though your folks live in a very lovely area.<br /><br />I know many people say they don't like water . . . but I've never understood that. Does that mean they have foul tasting water? There's not one single drink that quenches my thirst except for water. Have you tried putting a little fresh lemon juice or a lemon slice in water for your dad? That's scary that he doesn't get enough water. So important for so many reasons from keeping the bowels cleansed to flushing the unused residuals from medications out of the body. Didn't mean to go on a rant about it, but we all NEED that hydration from pure water to have healthy bodies. (Okay, I guess I did rant. Sorry.)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709809754356131123.post-86911149304155650452013-06-23T00:17:32.873-05:002013-06-23T00:17:32.873-05:00Lotta Joy,

It's a fight to get dad to drink, I'm afraid this may cause problems and put him in the hospital if he doesn't drink. <br /><br />I've never tried the MIO. I've seen it in the stores, maybe I will suggest it to my sister since I'm back home.

It took a scare to get him to pay attention! Geesh! Glad your dad finally listened to the PT. <br /><br />Loved seeing all of the photos. Nice that you were able to find some "me" time and take them.<br /><br />Just the usual around here this weekend. Cleaning, laundry, etc. Hubby and I did go to town today for lunch and then spent some time at the range.
