The nursing home called yesterday to tell me that they are going to start giving Dad a protein supplement. This is what they talked about at our initial meeting. It is universally said to taste terrible, so I'm not optimistic about this plan working out. People in health care have no empathy. I just want to say, "You eat it; then you can tell him how delicious it is." What's wrong with sugar-free ice cream after all?
I also asked if they were giving him the appetite stimulant, and she said that they are. So with any luck that at least will work. I hope he's feeling and doing better on our visit today. Look forward to it regardless.
