 Topic: On My Dad's List
Posted: 07 Mar 2023 at 8:08pm |
|
A few days ago, I went the the rest home to see my dad. He is 89 and has dementia. He made a list of 6 or 8 things that he would like to have. Bacon was on his list,,, twice. I saw on You Tube that someone took a pork loin and rapped it in bacon. I put on some rub and some covered it in Country Side. Rapped it in aluminum foil and into the oven. Mom and I went in tonight and the 3 of us ate in his room. No one went away hungry. (Unit 1)Dad will forget it tomorrow, but he was happy tonight.

My dad was 75, diabetic, dementia, and in a nursing home, they wouldn't give him milk because it wasn't on his diet. He drank milk every day of his life before and after our conversation, he did until the day he left us. Anything you can do to keep them happy, like you said, they won't remember it, but that ain't important.

Had a good laugh with my mom the other night.
She was telling me that her brother Steve (my uncle) and some lady have been coming in to see her. I asked was the lady Aunt Leila? She said yes my sister Leila. I said do you mean sister in law? She said well she was my sister before her brother married her.
It’s sad but some of the stories I hear are funny.
My moms room mate told the nurse I was gonna bring her Alcohol and cigarettes.

My mother will be 96 in April and is in a nurseing home some time when we visit we have great times and sometimes it's hard to talk with her because it's hard to follow her thinking.

Lost my Dad at 91. He had dementia but would come in and out of it. Beer was his drink of choice but not in a guzzling way. In the last 3 mos. of his life, I never went to see him without having a cold one on hand. The home that where we had him even let me keep a couple fresh ones in the frig. Anything that brought him comfort, he got.

A fellow employee was in a hospital with terminal cancer in Little Rock. Another employee & I went down from KC to see him. He wanted us to bring him a beer. So, we stopped & picked up a 6-pack in a brown paper sack & waltzed into the hospital. While we're drinking it in the room his Dr. came and just laughed at us. Not much he could say or do at that point.

Great Aunt, Grandmother on Mom's side sis was suffering after a stroke, could NOT eat, as well had a DNR so could not apply a feeding tube. Brother reflected she touched her fingers to her lips as if saying so hungry, He prayed that night that God take her and end that suffering, she passed as he managed to get home to Cape Girardeau after the visit at Wood River IL. She loved Oven Roasted Tame Duck, he had taken her some the week prior to her stroke and she savored every bite. House rules was NO outside meals, nurses looked the other way that day. She was 94.
