The Way to Texas (2010)
““Come on, move your butt. I’ve got a job to do, Gramps.”
Grady didn’t budge from the passenger seat. “I didn’t agree to this. This place is for old folks and I ain’t one of ’em.”
“It’s either this or the home health nurse around the clock. And, I swear, I’ll find the biggest, ugliest one they have,” Tyson said, aggravated enough to bend the door frame with his grip. He’d had about enough of Grady’s antics. Over the past two weeks, he had to check the old man’s mouth every night to make sure he ...didn’t tongue his medications. And he didn’t want to think about the whole diet change deal. He’d learned to duck fairly quickly when he delivered whole-wheat pasta or an egg-white omelet. Grady seemed to think his heart attack was “just a little episode” and didn’t merit any change in his sedate lifestyle. He regressed into a toddler. Laurel was never as difficult.
So he’d done the only thing he could do. Once his grandfather had been cleared to venture out, Tyson had enrolled him in Tucker House’s program.MoreLess
