How Do You Feel About Taking Medicine

My dad is not one to tell me about his ailments. I have to sneak into the doctor’s office with him to find out things. How long has this been happening? The nurse asks. About six weeks, Dad says. I did not know about his bad eyesight until yesterday! When did you first realize that you were falling down? Maybe a year ago. What? I did not know about it until a week ago. How do you feel about taking medications? I am okay with it, he says. What he means is.... he is okay with taking it home, but probably will not take it. I am speechless, sorry that I had accompanied my parents Luckily, Mom cannot hear, so she has no idea what is happening.
