I would be curious to know if anyone else's parents served in Vietnam and were exposed to the chemical Agent Orange. My dad says that MS is listed, along with the many other health problems that both me and my sister have had. There has been a lot of debate regarding the health problems that have come from the exposure of these chemicals. My father served in Vietnam and was exposed to Agent Orange during his tour there. What? That is Crazy!! Yes, he is my father, Yes, he feels responsible for me, just as I feel responsible for my son. He said that there is not a day that goes by that he does not blame himself for what is happening to me. My life will continue on this roller coaster ride until the day that a better treatment plan or cure is found. I DO understand how he feels right now, the difference is that in a few weeks, he will go back to being able to do everything for himself. Even with this illness, I planned to continue living that life. It was not that long ago that I was able to go to school, work full-time, and live the life that I had planned for myself. So I get how he is feeling, I really do.Īnyway, I finally lost it and just told my dad that I understand just how it feels. Each day is different, but on those days where things are bad and I just can't do anything and I just have to ask for help, that is the worst feeling in the world. I still have days where I am fine to do things for myself. It is not everyday that it is like that for me. There is nothing worse than the feeling of not being able to do things for yourself anymore. I just don't think he always realizes just how grumpy he has been. I can understand how he feels because I HATE that people have to help me. I know he has been frustrated with needing to have help, and he has been so impatient and grumpy since his surgery. My dad has been having a difficult time lately.
