Sara--I'm older and so's my Dad (we're 49 and 75), but I understand what it's like to be the backup caregiver. I've spent most of the time since his April surgery with he and Mom in Chicago (although my home is in Kansas). This website is terrific for information and support. Be sure to use the search feature on any topic of specific interest. Your Dad's at a top facility and he's got good family support. It makes a difference. Hang in there!
