My dad has both arthritis and ulcerative colitis.
He’s not very well right now.
He’s in a lot of pain and he’s not very comfortable.
He’s on meds for both conditions.
He’s refusing to call the doctor to make an appointment.
So what then? It is his choice, but he isn’t helping himself.
We can’t force him to do it.
He really should though. He is very neglectful of his health.
I am annoyed with him. He worries us all and that isn’t fair to us.
He expects sympathy but he doesn’t give anyone else any when they are ill.
So yeah!
I am just going to let it go. I can’t do anything about him or his illnesses.
It is up to him to make changes.
We can’t do it for him!

I hope he goes to a doctor and gets meds for his issues

That’s true. Much as you care, he’s an adult and responsible for himself. You can only advice and support, but ultimately it is his decision 😞

You’re right about letting go. He’s an adult and needs to make that choice. But I’m sure it’s hard to watch. I hope he changes his mind soon, Carol Anne. 💞

I highly doubt he will, he is very stubborn, but yes, it’s very hard to watch him decline and very hard to watch his health go downhill 💕😘😘

Yeah, all you can do is let him make his own decisions, and try and give it up to God.

You can’t’ help someone who won’t help themselves Carol Anne. It’s worse when it’s family. I hope he sees sense and sees his GP.
