Today my father was very hungry, and I stayed to see what they were feeding him for dinner. It was all things he liked, fortunately.
The nurse on duty Sunday nights doesn't allow family to stay in the dining room for dinner, which I find hard to agree to. The other nurses have no problem with that when they're on duty.
We're supposed to eat with our family in the room where they do art.
I went home after my father's tray was put in front of him - after I'd gotten him a container of orange juice (honey thick) and a slice of bread.
My father died peacefully on February 6, 2012. I had arrived a few hours before he died, so I had time to sit by him and talk and even moisten his lips with the long-promised scotch I had with me. I don't know if he heard me, but he smacked his lips from the scotch, My father had Alzheimer's and had donated his brain to the Alzheimer's study he'd been part of at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. I'll continue to post for a while.
