Inside the Red Head's HeadI Hate Moments Like This
I just read a news article talking about where the biggest free agents in Major League Baseball could be signing during this off season. The article predicted a couple of big names signing in Boston. I don’t know if that’s going to happen or not, but my first thought upon finishing the article was to send it to my father.
Shit.
I still have moments like this with my mother. Moments where I think to mention something to her only to then remember that she’s gone. Now I have to deal with things like that for my father too. He’s only been gone for about four months. It seems like yesterday, but also it seems like it never happened. I guess for both of my parents the reason it seems like it never happened is because I want it to have never happened.
I hate moments like this. I expect I’ll be hating them for the rest of my life. I miss my parents. This xmas is going to be tough.

Silvio Physical TherapyKnow how to monitor pulserate it's important especially when we have around us elderly people or people with special needs.
Peripheral pulses are monitored by palpation using index and third finger of one hand.
Generally, a light pressure is used initially to locate the pulse, and then more firm pressure is used when determining the rate.
In this post I introduce you 4 simply sites where you can measure pulserate.

Margaret MoonshadowI remember being goofy and singing Dan Fogelberg's "Run for the Roses" on our way home from the #KentuckyDerby party with my mom and dad. They along with my son thought I had lost it. They hadn't heard of it, but I was able to share the YouTube video of the Fogelberg recording. I am glad we have had memories of some recent times, though they are too few because my parents have lived a long drive away in South Carolina where my father will remain. #elderlyparents
Run for the Roses. Dan Fogelberg. (1982)
My father is stepping out to attend his retirement community's #KentuckyDerby party tonight. My son and I went with him and Mom two years ago and had a lot of fun. I found out from Dad today that my mother's grandfather used to take her to the Chicago #horse races along with her grandmother when she was little. My Mom and Dad have had an affinity for the races and have been to quite a few around the country. Tonight will be my dad's first social event by himself. #elderlyparents
