I feel so awful.....I forgot my dad's birthday yesterday. I only even remember today because he sent me an email complaining about the awful present my grandmother sent him.

First, don't beat yourself up - you have an injury and are on pain meds. I know that many meds can make you foggy and/or forgetful, and you shouldn't feel guilty for forgetting a birthday once.

I'd just call your dad and apologize that you didn't get a chance to call him yesterday. I'm sure he'll understand. :)

AJ, enjoying life with C.

Awww I'm sure your dad will understand - it sounds like he loves you very much (calling you daily to check on you and all).

Thanks....I'm sure you're all correct....he'll understand, but I will get a card out to him today. It should arrive tomorrow since he only lives 75 miles away. I do like the idea of making a joke out of it....if he's getting older, so am I and you know how age affects the memory!

You guys were all right. My dad totally understood why I forgot his birthday, but I know I won't get a free pass in the future. He knew I couldn't get out to get a present, but I hope he'll like his musical card....it sings "I'm sorry" and has a sad puppy dog face on it.
