What's on your mind?

Today's a disaster....

As you would expect, someone in his 90s want to nap all the time. Unfortunately, my dad wants to dine solely on ice cream and even spat out his medicine. It's less negotiating to get him to take his medication, as stubborn as he is, he'll go to sleep. Refusing to give him ice cream would foster either whining or more sleep. And unfortunately, he's more awake at night in any case.

Oh, I finally got him to take his medication, including the medication for his dementia. But eating is another matter when he tries to spit out the food, palm it in his hand and hide it in a napkin, or just refuse to eat unless it is ice cream.

And tonight, he's called for me to help him sit up in bed (twice) just so he can lay down again, or other various nuances.... at: 10:30pm, 10:42pm, 10:45pm, 10:54pm, 11:00pm, 11:03pm, 11:06pm, 11:09pm, 11:16pm, 11:21pm, 11:32pm, 11:36pm, 11:41pm and 11:46pm.

I was just answering his latest call while typing this. I'm gonna be in a chair waiting on him all night. I just see it.
