Hospital Signs

He is a tricky 85 year old. He can pretend to hear and get away with it 90% of the time.

I sneaked in Kit Kats and he had a piece of one sticking out of his mouth when 'room service' brought him his dinner tonight. He laughed hard as he told me that story. Then he asked if there was a trash can behind his bed and proceeded to toss the wrappers over his head asking me if he 'made a basket.' He's doing okay.

Thank you, friends, for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. You have no idea how much it helps. It's all the unknowns that are the scariest, but with support, even virtual support, it is okay. Dad and I will be okay.

Afterthought: It is quite funny that he would do this with the trash, since he is a compulsively neat guy. That's what makes it truly wonderful.
