Not A Sweepstakes Win

K – this is not a sweepstakes win, but kind of a cute story.

I have been babysitting my 90 year old father for about a week. He wanted to go to the casino – so I took him on Sunday. The only problem is that he dresses in rags and falls asleep in his wheel chair a lot.

So I am in the casino, my father is sleeping in his chair; security starts watching me hard. So I wake my pops up and ask, “You want to go home now.” Of course the answer was no. So I push him around the casino, and play $5.00 here and $5.00 there.

After about a half an hour, I have a nice group of security ‘eye balling’ me. So I put a $5.00 bill in a new slot machine called, “Press Your Luck.” I push the play button, look over to my dad and try to keep him awake. I am doing this back and forth, when I decide this is ridiculous – time to take him home whether he wants to go or not.

So I double my bet to get rid of the $5.00 I put in. I push the play button, and then turn to my dad, “we are going home now.” All of a sudden the slot machine starts making a racket, with lights going off. It startled my dad, who made a loud, “ahhhhhh yell.” Of course this shocked the security people. They all snapped to attention. I think they thought I hurt him.

All this got my concentration, and I turned back to the machine. It instructed me to hit another button; which I did in haste. More noise and flashing lights – bingo I won $462.00. Don’t ask me how. Nevertheless, my pops and I went home very happy. The security guards were happy to get rid of us as well.

I still can’t keep him awake for long, but he still talks about how we won all that money. What fun.

That is sooo touching. Your story brought a smile to my face! I took care of my dying grandmother & dad in the last three years. Your time with him will be treasured.
 
Glad you get him out even if he can't stay awake! Congrats on your great win at the casino--even if you don't know how you got it!!!!
 
A win is a win!!!! Congratulations. :cheers:

The "Karma" gods are smiling down on you for taking such good care of your dad. :)

I took care of my mother back in May and June and she will be moving in with me and my husband here in the next few months.

PM me if you need some one to talk to. Being a caregaver can be stressful and its nice to talk to someone whos going thru the same thing.
