Guys this is one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with, Dads mind is sharp but his body is another story. Dad has CMT or Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (Names of the 3 doctors that figured out this disease) and is also know as a Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy that causes Nerve damage in the legs and feet and a arms and hands and causes lessening of mussel in the arms and legs hands and feet. Not feeling pain is understandable with this condition with falling the biggest concern. Its hard to watch dad as he is now, Its hard for him to button a shirt and he cant start a nut on a bolt now as bad as his hands are now. My biggest concern is dads safety and not getting hurt or someone else hurt. This is something that you do not get better, It only gets worse with time. As it is right now he hasn't walked cense May 8 so almost 4 months with no walking and a new ankle that does not bend anymore so he has to learn to walk again. Do I let him try to do his thing and maybe get hurt or do I not let him try to do so much and let him try to work in the shop more at what ever he wants? This is a hard question I have to answer and if I make the wrong one I may have to answer to my family and live with it. I love my dad but I don't want to hurt his feelings by telling him he cant do something But I have to be realistic and keep dad safe. I have a hard row to hoe I think. Bandit
