Day 10: Afternoon

Well I spoke too soon ... Dad just had some lunch, and lo and behold it included steak and gravy! (Pureed, of course.). It also included mashed potatoes, pureed broccoli, tea and a strawberry "shake." We put his glasses on, but could not determine how his hearing aids fit! He actually tried himself, but we just decided to forego the hearing aids for now.

After he ate, in that it's possible that PT may not make it up today for letting him sit in a chair, the nurses got him up and let him sit on the side of the bed, which he did for a couple of minutes. Dessert? A bit of morphine before the afternoon siesta, which he is enjoying now. And for the record, it must be good sleep ... if the snoring is any indication!
