Rant:
Yesterday, my dad had surgery for torn rotater cuff thing due to a fall at work. They're paying for everything so he can heal but now he's idle at home. Talked with him this morning about how he should take some time to chill out, but I knew that wasn't gonna work. I can hardly sit still either, especially if I'm injured.
Got a text this morning saying that he was vacuuming and moving furniture around because my sister, her baby and partner were coming over and the place was too messy for the baby.
I call him up:
>What are you up to?
>Vacuuming, the baby is coming over
>You can't do that, Dad, please chill, do it for me at least
>I'm not the only one in this house that knows its dirty, who else is gonna do it
>ask [sister's partner] to do it while you guys hang out it the kitchen, and when I come over next week, I'll clean the whole living room, I promise
>fine
Mom calls me later to tell me Dad's pissed because she told my other sister and my sister told me.
He can't get any sleep because of the achy pain in his shoulder, and he's getting antsy and depressed. Understandable. Problem is that I live 2.5 hours away and can't do shit besides call him once a day to talk about it.
~TL;DR~
Dad injured, isn't chilling like he's supposed to, don't live close enough to actively help.
How the fuck do I handle this?
People get really depressed from this kind of stuff all the time.
I don't want him to re-injure himself, or worse.
