Arrived shortly after 7 and Dad was still hooked up to the IV. I asked if he wanted breakfast and he said "yes. and I want to go to the dining room". I asked the assistant to please wake him up for meals and they said they would "make a note of it". Then Mary Beth unhooked him and he got up, dressed, cleaned up and off we went. He had pancakes, a muffin, apple juice and coffee. While we were in the dining room I tried to show him the pictures of Nikki's wedding but he couldn't quite see them. We did talk about it and he said it would've been nice to be there. We talked about it and he was quite impressed that Dan cooked his own reception dinner.
While in the dining room a woman came in, was it Shannon, from the beauty shop. She wanted Dad right after breakfast for a haircut. She's nice. It was kind of a long walk from the dining room to the beauty shop. Dad said it seemed like he was shoveling snow this morning.
Asked about the diarrhea he said, "yeah, it must be better, I don't remember having it this morning". The diuretic starts today. We'll see how much he has to get up and pee. He does have a new roommate. Mr. Riley broke his hip and can't get out of bed yet. Seems like a nice man...could be a talker. That might be good for Dad.
Thank you John .. I sure appreciate the updates
