Getting my dad to take his health seriously had been an uphill battle for us.
It turns out he had self-recorded his blood pressure that morning and he decided not to tell my mom that it was dangerously sky high, probably because he knew she'd rush him to the hospital and he didn't want to go.

It’s so hard. My dad is 86 and a narcissist. My mom is 85, had a stroke over two years ago and recently had to have a severely infected hip implant removed. She was borderline septic but “didn’t want to bother anyone”.🤦🏻♀️
