6、Taking Care

From a very early age, I knew I wanted to be a nurse. My mother was a nurse and I have always  1  her and the way she took care of everyone. I wanted to be just like her.

So, here I am, a   2  for the last seven years. I love my work. Now, my father is quite   3  . He is 71 and has heart failure, and a lot of other medical  4  . Up until April of this year, he was able to live alone, drive, and   5  all of his own needs. His health has broken sown swiftly. I’m the only girl out of the five children. Being the only girl and a nurse  6  me at the top of the caregiver list. Taking care of a sick parent is very, not at all like taking care of other patients. I have to   8  my own family to be here with Dad. I know this is   9  I need to be but it is still hard. I   10  abut 12-15 hours day taking care of him. I want to spend all of the time that I can with him because I know that our   11  left together is short.

At the same time, I find myself 12  that my brothers don’t help more. Sometimes, it is days between their   13  . they all have families of their own and busy lives but…so do I. My eldest brother does help some. He   14  at night. He comes in at 8 or 9pm and lets me go home. But he is up and   15  to hit the road at about 6 am. My   16  brothers pop in for 10-15 minute visits. It is   17  annoying. They say they  18  stand “to see Daddy this way” which I understand. It hurts me to see him so sick  19  weak, too. But …he’s our Dad. He has taken care of us our whole lives. I just  20  like we should all do our part to take care of him now.
