Dreams (not mine)

    Dad seems to hallucinate a bit in the morning. Friday, he told me that the doctor had come around and brought a card, which the nurse would be installing on him later. He said the nurse poohpoohed this story. It was later that the nurse visited to say that the doctor had been in about Dad having a fistula put in. I have to assume that that was what Dad was talking about, and he just got confused. Unfortunately, he can talk and answer even when he's largely asleep.
    Yesterday, he was eating lunch and said that he was no longer on any special diet. Later, he called room service and tried to order a salad and a hot dog, but they refused. He said that they had called him before breakfast and said that he was back on a regular diet. Later the charge nurse came by to see if Dad had any complaints. I said no but asked her to check his diet. The regular nurse also dropped in and I told her the phone call story and she said that his breakfast had been the same old pureed stuff. The charge nurse reported that nothing had changed. So most probably he dreamed the phone call, too.
    He's on Dilantin because he had a seizure one day after his brain procedure. I wonder if the Dilantin might have something to do with the apparent hallucinations, and if it might be a good idea to discontinue it. One seizure in 90 years doesn't seem like it calls for anti-seizure medication for the rest of his life.
