Yeah I think we are doing a smart watch because it can monitor his Afib.

I feel so much guilt i cant help more, but my brother has been amazing.  I just worry about my brother too..[/quote]

I just responded and then saw this.
I was the sibling who was home. It felt like the other siblings were just waiting for a funeral announcement, honestly. That made me feel very alone.

Get on a plane and go visit. It might be the last time you see your dad. Check on your brother too. You can't offer much but you can do something besides hand wringing. [/quote]

Sounds so easy right? I am not the PP but my parents were cross country and it cost a grand or more every time I went[/quote]

This is a real concern for many. I spent a lot seeing my grandmother in her last year. In my case, I was fortunate that my father helped with the expenses. I was also doing doctor visits and lots of tasks and work for grandmother while using up my vacation time. While I don't regret helping in this way, it was also expensive, which is a concern for regular folks like me.
