Trish, my advice: make sure your dad walks as much as possible. Due to a sore on his foot, my father ended up not able to get out of bed, and his legs became stiff. Then they were afraid to let him stand. Check his feet frequently, make sure he has comfortable footware, and if weather does not permit, have him walk indoors. If there are children around, have them walk along to keep him from getting bored! I built bars from the bedroom to the bathroom, so my dad could have something to grip. If you (or anyone) want instructions on how to make them, let me know, it was quite simple, and not expensive. [log in to unmask]
