your dad will be glad you did and i am sure you will gain a lot of wisdom from your dad.
also, be sure you have things set up ahead of time with doctors and hospice care. we thought we did but things deteriorated very quickly for my mom after she got into the hospital on monday and she had some very bad pain on wednesday that we and the hospital were not prepared to deal with quickly enough. no one should need to deal with that in a hospital. thankfully a friend of my mom's who has owned and operated a nursing home for over 25 years and another friend from childhood who is a PA were at the hospital at the time and knew what needed to be done and got the hospital to get into action quickly. i just wish we were more prepared for her ahead of time.
