Take me home

Dad began his day by asking Jay to take hime home. In his clear moments today he was alert, humerous and knew where he was and what was happening. His clearer moments are clearer every day. Unfortunately we continue to have moments of confusion, moments of memory loss and moments of frustration. We believe this will be our course for awhile. In his clarity he understands that he will need to go to a skilled nursing facility to get well. In his confusion he wants to now why we won't take hime home. In his clarity he talks about living in his memories, having crazy dreams and being sad. In his confusion he uses a straw for a fork and the sink for the toilet. In his clarity he lets people help him to get around, asks to watch a game and tells us when he is cold. In his confusion, he argues if helped to do it himself, refuses to eat and puts his tissue in his sock for safe keeping because he has no pockets. I can only image what must be going on in his head. We continue to enjoy and clebrate every moment of clarity, helping him to understand that we are in this together.
