[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 675406, member: 19522"] Hi Susie, So sorry for your need to be here, you are a loving and concerned daughter to be writing this. My hubs had open heart surgery several years ago. He has other health issues, too. He can be grumpy and controlling to the point where, even when I am driving, he wants to tell me exactly what to do, it can be very frustrating. Sometimes it is just easier not to say anything because the "hissy" fit, as you call it, will just escalate. (good one, yes it is a hissy fit alright...) There could be a number of things going on as Copa mentioned. It could be diabetes, often times after surgery, folks develop diabetes. Low, or high blood sugar can cause irritability. I echo Copa, in that your dad needs a check up, maybe anxiety medications. I will tell you, Susie, my mother in law had subtle behavior changes, then not so subtle, then angry outbursts, nobody knew what was going on with her. I do not want to scare you, but looking back, [I]I wish we knew then[/I], she was starting dementia, then alzheimer's. I am mentioning this, because I know they have some medicines out there to help slow the process down. It may [I]not [/I]be the case with your Dad, but it is worth it to get a check up. His regular doctor could help find a geriatric doctor, someone who specializes in senior care. I am sorry for your heartache for your Mom and Dad. You are a love to try and find help for both of them. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
