Being Ernest

Dad has been spending a lot of time this week. That is where I found him this morning. I started our visit at his bedside.

It wasn't long before I met Jose, the tech responsible for bathing,  dressing and moving dad. We chatted as he shaved dad's face. Dad was resistant,  like a messy child getting his face wiped. 

After his teeth were brushed,  I wheeled him to the TV room where Dumbo was on. He was given his "pudding pills" (as I affectionately call them) and seemed to relax a bit. I was told that he has been tense all week and the latest yesterday was especially bad. Nothing seemed to calm him. It was good to see that today might be a better day.
