Good signs
Dad was much more awake and alert yet again yesterday. He's also started reading the kidney book that the dialysis facility gave me (presumably to give him) when I did all the paperwork for him. I think that this is a good sign in so many dimensions. That he's reading up on kidney function and dialysis indicates a desire and willingness to live with the latter and fight on. That he's willing to read something that dull indicates a reawakening of intellectual curiosity and intelligence. So yippie and yay, and we get to see him again today. (Yippie! Yay!)

When I was there he was refusing to wear his glasses in part because he said there was something wrong with his eyes and he was having trouble reading anything at all. So wow! Talk about a sea change...
ReplyDeleteThe reading didn't last, but the engagement and liveliness have, if anything, improved further still. Yay!
