That's too Loud!

It has been about 6 months or so since Dad has been done with his Chemo and Radiation. His hair is starting to really come back in and it is dark like it used to be. He lost about 70 lbs total with the surgery and recovery but the chemo and radiation really kicked his butt and knocked down his spirit. I know it is hard to get used to, but this is just the way its going to be I guess. One of the hardest things for him (besides not being able to eat much) is the fact that his hearing is shot. It turns out that not only did the chemo ruin his memory but his ability to hear things clearly too. So if he ever turns to you and says "Come again"- that's normal. The part that my girls are not too found of is the fact that he can't tolerate loud or high pitched noises- uh oh is right. So big groups are hard for him and anything like a generator, or motor is painful too. So last week he decided to fix his problem... he went out and bought some earmuffs to dampen the noise... Kaitlynn thinks its a good idea too! (don't worry- hearing aides are on the way)
