Dad has an appt with an audiologist / balance specialist tomorrow but feels it will be a waste of money. I am paying and have tried to give them a heads up that he is a stubborn prideful man who will say he is "fine" but he isn't.
My brother is his caretaker and feels on "high alert" all the time. I can't tell him not to worry. I offer to go over and give him some time way but he doesn't want that.
This morning, my brother told me not to expect Dad to live to 80 and that we should pre-plan the funeral soon. I don't know why he feels like Dad is dying and honestly I don't know what to do.
I know my brother would benefit but counselling himself but like my Dad, he is proud and neither of them like to admit they need help.
Any thoughts ladies? I think my brother is over-reacting but he says he isn't and that he lives with Dad everyday and that his breathing is more and more laboured. Dad had a triple bypass probably 15 years ago.
