my father, napping, originally uploaded by Susan NYC.

Sometimes I'd go visit my father and he'd be lying on his bed, all snuggly under his blanket or robe, and he'd refuse to move. He seemed to be in a terrible funk. But then on the next visit, he'd be lively and fine.

Now, three years after that picture, I see him behaving the same way.

1/223/07 I found my father curled up when I arrived and put his robe over him. I always wake him if he's asleep when I arrive - he has no trouble going back to sleep. Apparently he hadn't felt well this morning, but he told me he felt fine. (The aide said he hadn't felt well.)
